The clearance of Sambisa Forest in Borno, north-eastern part of Nigeria has yielded positive results for the Nigerian army.

The Federal Government, yesterday in Abuja, said it had recovered
some sensitive documents and treasure of the Boko Haram in the Sambisa
Forest.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who
disclosed this, said the items, including the propaganda strategy of the
sect, was discovered from the materials left behind by the terrorists
after they were routed from their last stronghold in the forest.
The minister, therefore, called on the media and the public to be vigilant, saying, “the
decimated group has shifted its strategy towards dominating the media
space, propagating a perverted version of Sharia law and giving the
impression that it is still holding territory.”
He also appealed to the public and the media to ensure that they do
not “unwittingly provide the terrorists with the oxygen of publicity
that they desperately need.
“We must all unite against terrorism by denying Boko Haram our
platforms to propagate its ideology. Both the media and the citizens
have important roles to play in complementing our Armed Forces, which
are combining land and air resources to completely clear the vestiges of
Boko Haram.”
