The Nigerian Army has announced that its troops have cleared the Biu-Sabon Gari-Damboa road in Borno State of mines planted by Boko Haram.
This is coming few days after a similar operation was successfully carried out on the Damaturu-Biu road.
A statement signed by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sani Usman, reads: “Sequel to the directive by the Chief of Army Staff, Major General TY Buratai, to troops in 3 and 7 Divisions Nigerian Army, on the need to be more proactive in the fight against terrorism and insurgency, in compliance with the directive, additional roads have been cleared by the troops for use by commuters.
“The road linking Biu–Sabon Gari–Damboa in Borno State is now cleared of mines and insurgents for public usage.
“The public are encouraged to use the road as adequate security measures have been put in place for their safety. Similarly, efforts are on for the clearance and reopening of other roads in Borno and Yobe States for public use.”
