It was reported according to Premium times that Chadian forces, who have joined their Nigerian counterparts in the fight against terrorist group, Boko Haram, have taken Dikwa town in Borno State, held earlier by the insurgents.Dikwa, which is the seat of the Dikwa Emirate, was recaptured at about 12:40 p.m. Monday.
The town is about 80km east of Maiduguri and 50 km to the Gamboru Ngala border between Nigeria and Cameroun.The Chadian forces were given permission to cross into Nigeria, sources explained, following a February 6 meeting “between Nigeria’s defence chief and his Chadian counterpart where it was agreed that both countries’ army and Airforce can engage Boko Haram targets in each other’s territory but that such operation should be communicated to the other country before the operation commences”.
While the Chadian Forces were taking control of Dikwa, the Nigerian Army was equally pushing the terrorists “from Maiduguri towards Dikwa and Monguno towards Dikwa”.
This is good news for Nigeria.....it is good that neighbouring ccountries are helping out. Very soon, the menace of Boko haram will be over!!!
a man saw a snake and a woman killed it... what is the difference.. provided the enemy is defeated... Chadian or Nigerian army ooo! boko haram must fall...and the whole world will celebrate...lol
