Baku-APA. Nigeria says it has embarked on a “final onslaught” against Boko Haram Takfiri militants ahead of the presidential polls slated for March 28, APA reports quoting Press TV.
“Soldiers are still out there working hard and we’re en route to the final onslaught because it has started already from Bama” in Borno state, Nigeria’s government spokesman, Mike Omeri, was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
“Bama was retaken yesterday and we have Abadam, Gwoza and Askira as part of the remaining areas where we still have this presence,” Omeri added.
He also said that “significant strategic military successes and gains” have been made against the Takfiri militants in recent weeks, adding, “As for the other three areas, help is coming.”
