Troops In Total Control Of Damasak, Army Boasts
The Nigerian Army says its troops of Operation Lafiya Dole are in total control of Damasak in Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno.
Damasak was reportedly attacked and taken over by Boko Haram terrorists, last Tuesday.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig-Gen Mohammed Yerima, disclosed this in a statement, yesterday, in Abuja.
Yerima said the reports in a section of the media that the terrorists had overrun and were in control of Damasak town were blatant misinformation.
He said that there was an attack by the terrorists on the town as was reported, but the terrorists were effectively repelled by the troops.
