Boko Haram In Control Of Six Borno Towns ‘Misleading’ – Army

The Nigerian Army has denied reports that six towns in Borno State have fallen into the hands of Boko Haram terrorists in the state.

Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman, condemned the reports in a message to Channels Television on Monday.

He insisted that the reported seizure of six towns by the terrorists was misleading, and “is not a true reflection of the reality on the ground right now”.

Brigadier General Usman’s message comes after days of uncertainty about the activities of Boko Haram terrorists in Baga and reports that the insurgents have taken control of six towns in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.
