According to a statement issued by Colonel Sani Usman, the director of army public relations, the troops cleared all the four camps located within the area: Faldan, Kidiziromari, Kuroshini, Kurumari and Ngulda.

During the military operation one member of the Boko Haram sect was killed while trying to escape and about 31 people were rescued from the insurgents.

“The troops discovered stockpile of farm produce in metal drums, sacks and underground storage facilities. Other items recovered included several bicycles and motorcycles. Some of the farmlands yet to be harvested were also set ablaze by the terrorists. A wooden rifle used for training and practice by the terrorists was also retrieved.”

In a related development, troops of 7 Division Garrison conducted eight fighting patrols along Leje Axis.

Usman said that the troops cleared the area and about 15 other villages around Leje. They include Khadadamamari, Ladin Buta, Hilmari, Kashauri, Keshan Ngala, Aiwa, Masu Kura, Mabirni, Grza 1 and 2, Mashuari, Dubenge, Tauba and Majande.

“Troops also pursued and destroyed 2 Boko Haram terrorists on motor cycles. Troops have also blocked all known routes to prevent Boko Haram Terrorists from transporting livestock across borders. All these are with a view to stopping the Boko Haram from fueling their terror machines through cattle rustling and illegal trading,”he said.

Usman called on Nigerians to continue providing security agencies with credible information about all known and suspected terrorists.

How Dokpesi Was Shielded When He Arrived Kuje Prison

Media mogul and owner of Daar Communications, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi was taken to Kuje prison yesterday, December 14, pending when he perfects his bail terms.

Justice Gabriel Kolawole had granted the media mogul bail. The conditions for bail are N200 million each (N400m) by two sureties and the judge ordered that he should be remanded in Kuje prisons pending the fulfillment of his bail conditions.

The Nation reports that Dokpesi arrived at the prison at about 4.55pm and was taken immediately to the prison chief’s office.

A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said: “We have received Dokpesi in Kuje Prison and perfected his records before allocating him a cell.

“Upon sighting Dokpesi, most of the inmates who were abreast of the ongoing anti-corruption trials, were anxious to see him.

“But we decided to keep him in the office of the Officer-In-Charge to avoid being hurt by some inmates. Warders succeeded in shielding him from inmates.”

According to the source, the media mogul was moody when he was brought in.

Dokpesi is standing trial for a six-count charge of money laundering and other fraud related charges. He is alleged to have received about N2.1billion from the office of the National Security Adviser for the Peoples Democratic Party’s ‎presidential media campaign.‎

He is facing trial ‎alongside ‎his firm, DAAR Investment and Holdings Ltd, owners of African Independent Television, AIT, and Raypower FM.

Sony will allegedly only have two major, Snapdragon 820 device releases in 2016

With the Holiday season almost upon us, it is definitely not too early to think about 2016 and discuss what the industry has in store for us. Sony's upcoming lineup has already been subject to a lot of rumors, the most significant of which details a total of five models in the Xperia Z6 family, covering a broad range of display sizes form 4.0 inches all the way up to 6.4.

However, industry sources now hint at the possibility for a different development, including a total of four device releases, two of which major ones, throughout 2016. This entails that the alleged 4-inch Z6 Mini won't become a reality and the lineup will consist of an Xperia Z6, Z6 Compact, Z6 Plus and Z6 Ultra. The rumor also states that two of those will be flagship releases and run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 SoC.

Furthermore, the two major device releases are said to come a few months apart – one in June and the other one in October 2016, to be exact. Design-wise, the new lineup will allegedly incorporate a lot of Metal for a fresh new look.

This new prediction coincides with a recently leaked T-Mobile release roadmap, so it might just hold some water. Hopefully, we will learn more on the topic at Sony's CES press conference, which has already been set for January 5. Until then, your guess on the future of Sony's mobile division is just as good as ours.

6" Samsung Galaxy A9 leaks in detail: Snapdragon 620 and a 4,000mah battery

Samsung Galaxy A9 will be joining the recently announced A3, A5, and A7 models of the refreshed Galaxy A (2016) lineup. The smartphone leaked via official promo pictures and is expected to go official later this month.

The Galaxy A9 is going to feature a 6" Super AMOLED screen of 1080p resolution and run on the Snapdragon 620 chipset with 3GB of RAM. The 620 platform offers a powerful octa-core 1.8GHz processor with 4x Cortex-A72 and 4x Cortex-A53 cores, while the GPU in charge of graphics is Adreno 510.

The Galaxy A9 will be following the trend established by the smaller A3, A5, and A7 from the 2016 lineup and will be built around a metal frame and dual 2.5D glass panels.

The rest of the specs of the Galaxy A9 include a 13MP rear camera with optical image stabilization and bright f/1.9 aperture. There is also an 8MP selfie snapper with support for panoramic pictures, 32GB expandable storage, LTE Cat.7 connectivity, and a 4,000 mAh battery.

With such a beefy juice pack, the Galaxy A9 is touted to feature power bank capabilities. Those should be supported natively by Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but the Galaxy A9 will be launching on 5.1.1 Lollipop, so we can't confirm this feature availability just yet.

Finally, the Galaxy A9 will support Samsung Pay and will feature a fingerprint scanner. It will be launching on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, but a Marshmallow update is scheduled for the months post the release.

Samsung Galaxy A9 is expected to go official very soon and hit the stores around Christmas or in early January. The price in China will be north of CNY 3,000, which means more than €430.
