Culled fron SaharaReprters
In furtherance of its crackdown of Boko Haram sect in Nigeria’s troubled North-East region, the Defence Headquaters in Abuja has ordered deployment of 1000 combatant soldiers to border areas of Adamawa State.
A senior military officer told SaharaReporters in Abuja that the soldiers had started arriving at their destinations within the state. The officer who didn’t want to be quoted said 150 soldiers yesterday flew into Adamawa on a military aircraft, and the rest of the deployment will continue today. He also said that there is not so many gun fights recorded in Adamawa areas with Boko Haram militants unlike in Borno and Yobe states.
