The Nigerian Army today has said it has recaptured four towns from Boko Haram insurgents. The towns were named as Yamteke, Izge, Bita and Uba in Askira Uba and Damboa Local Government Areas of Borno State.
Army spokesperson, Sani Usman, said troops of 3 and 7 division of the Nigerian Army, supported by colleagues from the Air Force, liberated the towns from the insurgents yesterday.
He also said the operation was in continuation of the push by the Nigerian military to liberate Sambisa forest, a stronghold of the terrorists in the State.
Sadly a soldier was lost while 10 others were injured during the operation, but many terrorists were killed and various weapons recovered
