Major General Olukolade stated further that the terrorists’ numbers had dwindled due to the army’s recent attacks on them.
The Director of Defence Information, Chris Olukolade, has said that members of the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria have run out of arms and ammunition.
Major General Olukolade stated further that the terrorists’ numbers had dwindled due to the army’s recent attacks on them.
The defence spokesperson made the comments on Wednesday, April 22, 2015, while speaking to journalists in Abuja.
“The Boko Haram terrorists have run out of arms and ammunitions as the military have intensified attacks on Sambisa Forest,”Olukolade said.
“You
can find more than 500 of the insurgents with only few of them having
rifles and even when one or two of them have rifles, they have no
ammunitions. It is just like somebody holding a stick…, as they have run
out of ammunitions, because the usual supplies they get are not
forthcoming,” he added.
“I am optimistic
that the military will succeed by killing many of these sect members who
have been terrorising residents in the past three years from the
forest,” Olukolade said.
National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki had
earlier stated that the military would succeed in clearing out Sambisa
Forest, a Boko Haram stronghold, before May 29, 2015, when a new
government would be sworn in.
