Nigerian troops operating in northeast has commenced large scale operations to flush out Boko Haram terrorists from their Sambisa forest hideout in restive Borno.

Maj.Gen. Lucky Irabor, the Theater Commander Operation Lafiya Dole said this on Sunday while briefing newsmen in Maiduguri, the state capital.

"I want to inform you that troops of the Operation Lafiya Dole are conducting operations in the heart of Sambisa as we speak," he added.

According to him, the troops are deep into the forest to smoke out Boko Haram terrorists.

Irabor told reporters that the troops were led by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 division of the Nigerian Army Maiduguri Brig.-Gen. Victor Ezugwu.

He said the troops had also recorded tremendous successes against the terrorists in the last couple of days.

Boko Haram's six-year insurgency has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions.

Nigeria is heading up a strong multinational joint task force along with Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin that was set up in March 2015.
