The Nigerian Army on Tuesday debunked reports on social media that the terrorists attacked UN Base in Borno State which trapped 25 aid workers
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja by the Army spokesperson, Brig. Gen Mohammed Yerima.
The Director of Army Public Relations declared that those false and sensational reports were clearly aimed at stirring up tension in the region and diminishing the glaring efforts and sacrifices of the military in the fight against insurgency.
He explained how troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE have decisively routed elements of Boko Haram Terrorists and their Islamic State of West Africa Province(ISWAP) counterpart who attempted to infiltrate and attack Dikwa town in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State.
