Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

Chadian troops have continued their massive bombardment of Boko Haram enclaves.<\/p>\n

The major onslaught commenced on Sunday March 29, 2020.<\/p>\n

Troops have been recording success to the extent that the sect leader, Abubakar Shekau, released an audio asking his fleeing fighters to remain at battlefield.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, soldiers destroyed five bases of Boko Haram hideouts and recovered hundreds of assorted weapons.<\/p>\n

The bases, located in Niger and Nigeria, were targeted in the ongoing \u201cOperation Boma\u2019s Wrath\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In reaction, Chad\u2019s presidency vowed to sustain the raid against the insurgents wherever they were hiding.<\/p>\n

Boma is where the terror group killled over 90 soldiers nearly two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

During his visit to the scene, President Idriss Deby called it the worst attack ever on the country\u2019s military.<\/p>\n

He then vowed to ensure the crush of Boko Haram around the Lake Chad region.<\/p>\n

The military, within a few days, deployed gun trucks, gunships, armoured vehicles and troops currently at war.<\/p>\n

Their superior firepower has caused deaths of scores of insurgents while others are running away from their positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
