Nigerian Army has warned residents in the Northeast not to harbor members of Boko Haram fleeing from the Sambisa forest in Borno State.

A statement from the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman, said that credible intelligence showed that several of theBoko Haram terrorists have resorted to taking refuge in dry wells and other hideouts in some communities along their escape routes from the Sambisa forest in order to evade the sustained bombardments from air and ground troops of Operation Lafiya Dole.

“No one should shield these blood thirsty terrorists. Any unpatriotic and unscrupulous persons, especially in the North Eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe found providing safe sanctuaries or any assistance to the criminals will be treated as an accomplice and given same treatment as a terrorist.

“All are advised to take the patriotic path by calling the Nigerian Army Information and Call Centre Number 193 to report any fleeing terrorists or report immediately to the nearest security agency.
