Reports coming from the North East indicate that the Nigerian Military continues to make gains in the fight against Boko Haram insurgents. The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel SANI USMAN said scores of terrorists are surrendering to troops and many more have shown willingness to surrender. Colonel USMAN revealed in a statement that the development is as a result of new strategies employed by the military, including sustained offensive operations, pre-emptive air strikes by the Nigerian Air Force and routes blocking by ground troops. The Army spokesman said the strategies are all geared towards constricting and snuffing out the Boko Haram terrorists. Colonel USMAN said the Nigerian Army in conjunction with the Nigerian Air Force and other security agencies will continue to devise and implement effective strategies to bring Boko Haram terrorism to a speedy end.
