Barely 48 hours after he deployed ‘unrepentant’ fighters of his sect to join bandits in a forest in Kaduna State, the two major camps of Boko Haram Leader, Amir Bakoura Buduma, have been destroyed.
The camps, Kusulu and Toumboun Adashe, are located in the South West of Lake Chad.
They were destroyed by offensive bombardments carried out by fighter jets of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) air troops.
Dozens of the Boko Haram fighters, military sources, confirmed were killed, while those who survived sustained injuries.
The MNJTF aerial raid was aided by the collaboration of French forces.

It was, however, unclear as to whether Buduma, the self-styled Boko Haram ‘Ultimate Commander’, was affected by the military attack.
PRNigeria had reported that as the self-styled leader of the ‘unrepentant’ Boko Haram, Bakoura Buduma had appointed a deputy for himself.
While he operated from operated at a border area between Nigeria and the Niger Republic, some Buduma’s fighters were deployed to North-west and dominated a forest close to Rigachikun in Kaduna State.
A source told PRNigeria that the terrorists now rustle cattle and kidnap people to their den at a forest close to Rigachikun in Kaduna State.
