With the clearance operation at Sambisa forest still ongoing, troops of the 114 Task Force Battalion of 26 Task Force Brigade have been mandated to destroy every remnant of Boko Haram still hibernating in Sambisa forest.
The troops are deployed at the Forward Operation Base Tokombere, Sambisa forest, in Borno State.
The Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7 Division Nigerian Army, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu, visited the troops as part of routine operational responsibility to formations and units under command.
