Troops Flee Sambisa After Boko Haram's Hidden Landmines Kill JTF

The Cable has reported that Nigerian soldiers are retreating from Sambisa after three civilian JTF members were killed by a landmine set by the Boko Haram members.

This is just a day after the offensive against the terrorists began.

“The soldiers have retreated to Bama because of mines,” a soldier told Reuters. “They had been on the road but that made them vulnerable, so they moved to the bush but there are mines planted there (too).”

Mike Omeri had said: “right now, all Boko Haram camps, except Sambisa Forest, have been destroyed.
“Every movement of the terrorists is being monitored and every necessary detail is being taken care of to rid the country of the last bastion of terrorists’ infestation.”
