Army investigating Boko Haram attacks

Army authorities are investigating the recent attacks by Boko Haram terrorists on communities on the outskirts of Maiduguri.

The attacks which claimed several dozens of lives have forced most of the people to flee their villages for Maiduguri the state capital.

This information was contained in a statement issued by the Army on Sunday.

“The recent unfortunate attacks by Boko Haram terrorists on communities close to Maiduguri, despite our successes, call for concern,” the statement said.

“The Nigerian Army has already commenced investigation into the attacks… All cases of indiscipline and related acts of misconduct including human rights abuse in the operations will be tried by the Special Court Martial.”

Despite repeated claims by President Buhari and military authorities that Boko Haram has been largely decimated, the insurgents have continued to attack soft targets killing dozens of people in the process.
