BAGA!!! Nigerian Military Re-Takes BAGA from Boko Haram

Nigeria: Nigeria's army chief said that Baga town in the country's northeast has been retaken by the military from Islamic extremists, and that displaced residents should be able to return to vote in late March elections.

Lt Gen Kenneth Minima spoke to journalists on Wednesday after he said he visited the town on Lake Chad near the border with Cameroon to build troop confidence.

''They have made Nigerians proud,'' he told journalists in Maiduguri after the visit on which only a government TV crew was embedded.
