said the storage facility was discovered by troops on Saturday, April
16, 2016, while carrying out an operation in Biggoro, Warpaya and Aura,
north of Kumshe in Bama area of Borno state.Usman said “The essence of the operation was to stop the reported criminal activities of remnants of Boko Haram terrorists hiding in the three villages. This became necessary as previous efforts were futile. The suspected terrorists kept coming in search for food, water and shelter.”
The Nigerian Army has also revealed that 800 Boko Haram fighters have surrendered to troops waging war in the North-East.
