A coordinated attack is set to be carried out by the military to
liberate Gwoza, Borno State, from Boko Haram captivity as
the defence authorities have deployed four attack helicopters
and two air force fighter jets to flush out the terrorists in the
areas.
A reliable source in the military told our correspondent on
Thursday that the attack helicopters and the fighter jets
departed Yola, Adamawa State, at about 3pm, heading for
Gwoza, the last town in Borno State under the control of
terror sect.
The source told our correspondent on the telephone that
ground forces from Bama, Borno State, and Madagali in
Adamawa State, were advancing towards Gwoza in the air and
ground operation to end the reign of the insurgents in the
area.
President Goodluck Jonathan, on Wednesday, promised that
the terror sect would be flushed out of Gwoza, where the
kidnapped Chibok girls are allegedly being kept.
