“The Boko Haram insurgents in northern Nigeria have run out of weapons and ammunition, and the Nigerian army is advancing on the militant group’s remaining territory in Borno state’s Sambisa Forest, military sources and residents told local reporters Thursday. The intensified military operation by Nigerian and coalition forces has reportedly weakened the Islamic militant group and cut off their arms supply. ‘The Boko Haram terrorists have run out of arms and ammunitions as the military intensify attacks on Sambisa Forest,’ a resident of Tabe village of Damboa who narrowly escaped from the area, told Vanguard news in Abuja. ‘You can find more than 500 members of the insurgents, with only a few of them having rifles and even when one or two of them have rifles, it is like a stick, as they have run out of ammunitions, because the usual supplies they get are not forthcoming.’”
