The Nigerian Army said it has finally captured the insurgent group, Boko Haram’s last stronghold in Northeast Borno State.

This was disclosed on Wednesday by the Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor. According to him, the capture of the terrorists’ last stronghold in Northern Borno shows that the insurgence in the region will soon be a thing of the past.

He said, “As you know, Malamfatori is in our kitty; our troops are consolidating on the capture of Malamfatori, Abadam and Gashigar.

“The last time we met I told you that we were looking forward to capturing these areas which were the last strongholds of the Boko Haram terrorists; that we have done successfully.”
