A detachment of the Nigerian military has
stormed the Sambisa Forest in Borno State to
dislodge members of the violent sect, Boko
Haram, who are believed to have used the forest
as their stronghold, from where they unleash
their terrorist activities.
Sambisa Forest was once believed to be the
most feared hideout of the militants, where over
200 schoolgirls, who were abducted from
Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno
State, on April 14, 2014, were held captive.
Military sources told our correspondent on
Wednesday that “troops have commenced a
major operation in Sambisa to clean the forest of
terrorists.”
The source did not, however, specify how many
of the militants had been captured, but said the
“insurgents will be flushed out soon.”
