Nigerian troops have taken control of a farm purportedly owned by leader of Boko Haram Abubakar Shekau in Sambisa forest.
This came after troops successfully repelled ISWAP fighters who attacked Dikwa town on Friday evening.
In a video obtained by PRNigeria, the troops seized the farm and invited locals to help themselves with edibles before destroying the farm.
The soldiers in the video mocked Shekau and asked him to come out of hiding.
Meanwhile, troops in Dikwa after repelling the attack by ISWAP arrested two men suspected to be informants living in the community.
PRNigeria had reported that the jihadists invaded a military super camp unit on the northern axis of the town on several light trucks mounted with machine guns.
“The terrorists suspected to be aided by informants approached the base from two axes,” it quoted a source as saying.
“One of the groups attacked from the northern axis towards Marte road, while the other group approached the base from the north-eastern axis towards Gajibo road.
“The troops on the ground had got a signal of the attempted invasion and retreated to Ajiri Community in the southern axis, where they relaunched counter-attacks with troops from Gulumba.
“A ground force close air support (CAS) component deployed also attacked the terrorists from the air destroying their guntrucks and makeshift camps.”
