There was panic on recently when news filtered in that, Boko Haram
terrorists may have relocated the over 200 abducted girls of Government
Secondary School, Chibok and other abducted victims from Sambisa forest
to a new location in Balmo Forest, which borders Borno and Bauchi
states.
It was gathered that communities close to the Sambisa forest
raised the alarm, disclosing that they saw a large number of Boko Haram
militants leaving the thick jungle early in the day of Wednesday and
driving towards the border town near Bauchi.
A military source had
confirmed that the security agencies had started putting in place
strategies to deal with the development, while all hands are now on deck
to ensure security is properly beefed up in the areas where the
insurgents were believed to be relocating to.
The sudden relocation
of the insurgents came after 500 Nigerian soldiers were found in
neighboring Cameroon as the engaged in a fierce battle with Boko Haram
militants that attacked Gamboru-Ngala, a major town near the border with
Cameroon.
It was recalled that the Chibok school girls were abducted from their boarding house in the month of April this year.
Some
security sources have opined that the insurgents may be relocating from
Sambisa forest for fears of a major attack by the military in a bid to
rescue the abducted girls and demobilize their operational headquarters.
