Military launches attacks to reclaim Gwoza,as 5 missing police officers return unhurt.

Personally i prefer to hold on this kind of posts since its an ongoing operation,but i also feel the need to cast our security forces in the most positive of lights,because this is the only country we can call home and no group in whatever guise should take that away from us...

The Nigerian Army will soon launch an attack on the Boko Haram insurgents in a move to reclaim Gwoza, Borno State, after the sect proclaimed the district an Islamic Caliphate, it was learnt yesterday.
Five of the 27 policemen who went missing during the Boko Haram seizure of the town and the attack on the Nigeria Mobile Police Academy in Gwoza, have rejoined their units unhurt.

It was also gathered that the insurgents have blocked access roads to the town prompting the troops to launch what a security source described as “fierce attacks.”

“Some active military operations are ongoing but we will not talk until we have regained the town and other villages,” the source told nation yesterday.
“All I can tell you is that Nigerian troops are capable. They did it in Congo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and other places.
“There is no basis for not dealing with the insurgents at home.“We have launched fierce attacks both on land and in the air.
“We are prepared to reclaim Gwoza from the insurgents who have become tired of Sambisa Forest because the terrain has become marshy.”

The source added: “Troops would have taken over Gwoza by now but the operation is tactical because we are sticking to the rules of engagement.

“We have discovered that the insurgents have been using most of their captives as human shield in launching attacks on troops and invasion of villages. But their antics cannot last.”

It was also gathered yesterday that five of the 27 policemen who went missing from the Nigeria Mobile Police Academy during the Boko Haram invasion of Gwoza have returned safely to their units.
