Nigerian Military Getting Ready to Reclaim Damboa from Boko Haram- DHQ  The Nigerian military is preparing to embark on actions that would enable it to regain the Damboa area of Borno State, which it lost to the extremist Boko Haram sect, the Defence Headquarters said on Monday. DHQs spokesman, Mr. Chris Olukolade, a Major General, also said the military would soon reverse the current “insecurity manifestations” in the area. Mr. Olukolade was reacting to questions raised by journalists concerning reports that members of the Boko Haram sect had taken over Damboa and even hoisted the flag of their organisation after dislodging the military and killed scores of civilian residents. “The Nigerian military will not concede any portion of this country to any such group,” Mr. Olukolade said. “We are firming up our deployment in that general area. Right now they (members of the armed forces) are setting up their activities to reverse any form of insecurity that is noted around there.” The defence spokesperson spoke during the regular briefing by the National Information Centre (NIC), coordinated by the Director General of the National Orientation Agency, Mike Omeri.
