Nigerian Army Reclaims Chibok

The Nigerian army claims to have regained control over Chibok where 276 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram earlier this year. Soldiers, hand in hand with local resistant groups, flushed out the extremist group late on Saturday, November 15, 2014.
 
"Our troops have rescued the innocent Chibok from wicked enemies, dismantled the terrorists assault and in pursuit of their fleeing ruins," said General Chris Okulede, as cited by the Guardian. 

"Terrorists who attacked Chibok town early yesterday have been effectively flushed out. Subsequent mopping up is still ongoing. Troops continue pursuit of fleeing terrorists and arrest of the wounded [...] Chibok is secured."

Pogu Bitrus, a leading elder in the town, explained that retaking Chibok was a joint operation with local vigilantes known as the Civilian Joint Task Force. The vigilantes "fought inside the town while army soldiers stayed outside the town to mop up the insurgents trying to escape."
