The Army spokesman Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, in a statement on Wednesday night, November 4, revealed that a woman, suspected to be an active member of the group, was arrested during an operation in Borno State, where troops cleared out five additional Boko Haram camps.


Usman said the suspect is undergoing interrogation at an undisclosed location.

The statement reads: “In efforts to continually dominate recovered territories and clear all Nigerian territory of Boko Haram vestiges, the advancing troops of 5 Brigade Task Group have today cleared five more terrorists camps at Hausari and Baranga in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.


“The troops, during an encounter with Boko Haram terrorists at the camps, killed two terrorists and recovered two dane guns and a double barrel gun. Twelve motorcycles abandoned by some fleeing terrorists were destroyed.

“It will be recalled that troops of 5 Brigade had some time last month cleared and destroyed 20 terrorist camps at Kerenowa general area.”

“Troops of 28 Task Force Brigade, on patrol between Bitta-Yamteke in Borno State to block Boko Haram terrorists fleeing from Lagaran Fulani to enter Sambisa forest, discovered two planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and successfully detonated them
