The Nigerian Army has recorded a major breakthrough in the ongoing fight against insurgency, dismantling a Boko Haram stronghold and seizing the residence of one of the terrorist group’s commanders in the Sambisa Forest.
The operation, carried out by troops during a clearance mission, targeted a key insurgent enclave believed to have been used for planning attacks, coordinating fighters, and storing weapons and other logistics.
Military sources said the terrorists fled the area as troops advanced, allowing soldiers to secure the residence and surrounding facilities without resistance.
Several items, including weapons, ammunition, communication equipment, and motorcycles, were reportedly recovered during the operation.
The capture of the commander’s residence is being viewed as a significant blow to Boko Haram’s operational network in the Sambisa Forest, which has long served as a major stronghold for the insurgent group.
Security officials noted that sustained military offensives across the North-East have continued to weaken terrorist elements, destroy their hideouts, and disrupt their ability to launch attacks on communities and security formations.
The Nigerian Army reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining pressure on terrorist groups and ensuring that all remaining insurgent camps are cleared as efforts to restore lasting peace and security continue.
