This was even as the military said yesterday that soldiers would soon carry out a military exercise code-named Operation Thunderstorm 'on the Abuja-Jere-Kaduna expressway.
Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade who spoke in an interview with newsmen, also said that troops on the special operations, stormed the notorious Sambisa forest area and rescued six children and three women kidnapped by the terrorists about three weeks ago.
According to Brig-General Olukolade who was part of a seven- man Assessment Team led by Maj-General Lawrence Ngubane, that visited the operation areas in the last three days, the troops were currently combing the vast Sambisa forest which is about 16 square kilometers.
Kudos to the military. Hopefully they can intensify efforts to rid the country of this group that is bent on wrecking havoc in Northern Nigeria.
