The major-general said that the soldiers also demolished Boko Haram food stores along the Kukawa- Gudumbali line. Abubakar said troops arrested 17 suspected insurgents in Geidam and Katarko and all of them were being interrogated.

Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has listed eight crimes against humanity that have been committed by the Nigerian army and the Boko Haram group during the last six years of the group’s insurgency in Nigeria.
