This is not just a military update.
This is history.
After years of fear, bloodshed, propaganda videos, and hollow threats, Sambisa Forest — the symbol of terror in Nigeria — has finally collapsed under the weight of coordinated Nigerian firepower. The Nigerian Army has confirmed full control of the forest following weeks of relentless ground operations and precision aerial strikes.
Sambisa is no longer a sanctuary for terrorists.
It is now under the authority of the Nigerian state.
For too long, Sambisa was portrayed as “impenetrable.” A place where terrorists regrouped, trained, planned massacres, and mocked the Nigerian state.
That myth has now been shattered.
This victory sends a loud and unmistakable message:
There is no forest, mountain, border, or hideout beyond the reach of Nigeria’s Armed Forces.
Those who built careers criticizing military action will be uncomfortable today. Those who romanticised terrorists as “misguided” or “misunderstood” will suddenly go quiet.
But facts are stubborn:
Sambisa fell because force was applied
Terrorists retreated because pressure was sustained
Nigeria advanced because the military refused to blink
Peace does not come from negotiating with men who kidnap children and bomb markets. Peace comes when the state reclaims every inch of its territory.
Military authorities have confirmed that troops remain actively deployed to hold the ground, secure communities, and prevent any return of criminal elements. This is crucial.
Because the real danger now is not the battlefield —
it is political hesitation, public distraction, and premature celebration.
Victory must be consolidated.
Pressure must be sustained.
Terror must be denied oxygen — militarily, financially, and digitally.
Salute to the Nigerian Army

Salute to President of Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Nigeria we hail thee
