The Chief of Civil/Military Affairs, Army HQ, Brig. Gen. Nicholas Rogers says territories held by the insurgents have been liberated as people are returning back to their communities gradually.

He added that the military has taken almost all the territories in the Northeast,“what is left are some villages between the boundaries of Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon particularly along the Lake Chad region”

The Brig. Gen. said that stability and calm have returned in Maiduguri, Damaturu, Gwoza, Bama, Baga, Monguno amongst other towns.

He also stated that some buildings like schools, churches that were burnt down are been rebuilt by the military, but noted that there are some challenges along the line.

In continuous fight against the insurgents and protecting the towns that have been liberated, the Brig. Gen revealed that other security agencies are yet to resume which is preventing the military from carrying out their full operations.

The Brig. Gen. also disclosed that several meetings have been held and is still ongoing to discuss the challenges in the system but noted that the responses are coming in slow.
