The battle against the Boko Haram insurgency in the North Eastern region of Nigeria may be far from over as the insurgents seem to have upped the scale of suicide attacks in Borno State.
There are indications that the remnant of the Boko Haram sect may be holing up in communities close to Sambisa Forest following the successful execution of Operation Lafia Dole by the Nigerian military.
The Borno State Government has clarified the arrest and detention of the Chairman of Mafa local government area of the state, Shettima Lawan, who was falsely reported by some media outlets as having links with the Boko Haram terrorists.
No less than 15 Boko Haram fighters were reportedly killed when they engaged troops of the Nigerian Army in a fierce gun battle in Borno State on Friday.
Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, has called on the federal government to probe the N500 million fund reportedly released for the reconstruction of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok.
