SAN FRANCISCO, November 19, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian Army said on Thursday that it has arrested in Yobe State another three members of the Boko Haram group declared wanted a few weeks ago.
Disclosing this at a media briefing in Damaturu, the state capital, Commandant of the 27th Task Force Brigade, Colonel Dahiru Bako, said one of the suspects was arrested in Jakusko Local Government Area while the remaining two were nabbed in Damaturu.
According to Bako, the ongoing onslaught on Boko Haram has received so much success with major camps of the insurgents destroyed.
He disclosed than plans were in top gear to flush the insurgents from their hideouts and send them packing from Nigeria.
On the return of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) to communities recently liberated, Bako said: “Buni-Yadi has been liberated from the Boko Haram insurgents but the state government in collaboration with the Local Government are making concerted efforts to provide all the needed facilities before the return to the displaced communities.
“Most facilities such as electricity, water, market, hospitals among other amenities are no longer in the liberated communities as they have been vandalised by the insurgents, hence efforts must be made to put these in place before their return.”
