“We know the nooks and crannies of Sambisa forest. In fact we know exactly where Shekau is hiding in the forest.

“They fear us more than conventional army, because they know we knew their secrets.”

Tarfa added that insurgency will end if the Federal Government can give them patrol vehicles and other forms of logistic help.

The  Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman confirmed the killing of six civilians on Monday, September 19, 2016, in an attack by Boko Haram.
