Army Kills Terrorists, Recovers Arms In Borno


The Nigerian Army on Sunday said its troops killed Boko Haram terrorists and recovered arms in the process.

A statement by the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sagir Musa, said the clearance was conducted in Gworege Village in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State, adding that no soldier was killed in the encounter.

The statement reads, "Following credible information from the locals about the presence of terrorists at Gworege Village in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State, troops of 22 Brigade/Super Camp Dikwa in conjunction with  the Civilian Joint Task Force, local vigilantes and hunters conducted a successful raid and clearance operations to clear the village of the crouching terrorists reportedly hibernating in the area.

"The terrorists engaged the troops in a fire fight but had to flee as a result of superior fire power from the troops. 
"Many terrorists reportedly met their waterloo during the encounter, while others escaped with injuries."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
