A military source who spoke to The Guardian said “Already, both the top Boko Haram Commander and the Chairman have been detained in a military facility to enable thorough investigation as to how a wanted terrorist will sneak into the house of a council chairman.
“This is, knowing fully well, that politicians of such caliber do not usually allow access to their house for abode or to hide.”
The Nigerian soldiers crushed Boko Haram’s Camp Zero in Sambisa forest on Friday, December 23, 2016, at about 1: 35 pm.
