Hundreds of members of the militant Islamic sect, Boko Haram, who are fleeing military attacks in the border communities of Borno State, are regrouping in the mountainous forests of Adamawa State.

The source said that militants, who were dislodged from Sambisa Game Reserve and other camps in Borno, had sought refuge in the Adamawa forests, especially in the Zumo area of Song Local Government Area.

He also said that the sect members had been sighted in the forests of Maiha and Fufore local government areas of the state.

“Most of the Boko Haram members who are running away from the military operations in Borno are moving into Adamawa State. They are regrouping in Zumo area of Song Local Government Area. Some are in Fufore and Maha local government areas. This particular area has a combination of mountains, rocks and bushes that extend to Cameroon,” he said.

Our correspondents learnt that the sect members mingled with civilians when they were escaping from Borno to Adamawa State.

Adamawa has a complex topography comprising mountains, rocks and thick forests that extend into the nation’s border with Cameroon.

It is a mountainous land crossed by the large river valleys – Benue, Gongola and Yedsarem. The valleys of Cameroon, Mandara and Adamawa mountains form part of the landscape.

The source, who spoke on condition that he would not be named, said that the focus of the Defense authorities that are coordinating the fight against the militants would change in the next few days from Northern Borno to Adamawa State.

He further stated that the influx of suspected insurgents into Adamawa explained the decision of the Defense Headquarters to deploy additional 1,000 troops in the state in preparation for a similar military operation in the area.

The source said, “This might be the reason behind the decision of the Defense Headquarters to deploy additional 1,000 soldiers in the state.

“The attention of the Defense authorities and the Special Forces deployed to flush out suspected Islamic militants in the North- Eastern part of the country may shift from Borno where some of the earliest battles have been fought to Adamawa State.”

This is why I wud av preferred they killed those 120 captured while burying their leader. They want to adopt the Afghan style of hiding under the rock to shoot down air force jets. Ofcourse I believe our boyz will treat ur f-up real good. I guess next stop will be Cameroon or Benue. From Benue to where- Kogi ? Kogi to Enugu right. Then ur finished cuz 042 guyz will chew you dimwits like okpa Nsukka.

Senseless goats. Why are they running away like toothless bulldogs, I thought they were promised 72 virgins for doing stupid things, why then are they running away from death?

They can run, but can never hide...

JTF give me Iman Shekau either dead or alive

Yomii: JTF give me Iman Shekau either dead or alive

Because like Osama, he's a freaking coward.

Lies. Just to promote infonubia.

In this type of situation, this type of intel is supposed to be classified, I'm sure they will change the meeting venue to forestall further massacre.
The JTF should have quietly took them unawares, and exterminate all of them from the surface of the earth.
Those vultures, blood sucking demon, cows, are threats to human existence.

Kill them all..............!!!!!!!!!!!

Kill them all.....

why are these guys fleeing na...is there scarcity of virgins in paradise? whether death by suicide or military bullet...all na death and virgins are guaranteed.

Na who dey leak this info self?.. Well lets go there and bombard them to the stone age. The problem that have been giving me thoughts since this operation began was how to differentiate fleeing civilians from terrorist. I know that such thing would happen from the onset.

Nigerian are fools just making comments and arriving at jaundiced conclusions without seeing pictures or evidences of the destruction ongoing in the areas where the military are operating.We need to be careful how or what we wish for as the military has shown themselves time and over again to be untrustworthy in handling both affairs of state and such security challenges.

Is that the latest buzzword... Intel


intel and nigerian army= impossible


whats with all these funny press releases sef, we need videos, maps,! perhaps nigerian army cant work that out

[color=#990000][/color] I dnt like this news,information like this should not be given to the press as d boko people also read the news and would relocate when they find out that their location is known to the army.when jtf don finish to dey kill them the press fit broadcast anything weh dem like

You do not need to insult an entire people of a country in order to express an opinion. Nigerians do not need to go to war front for evidence. What Nigerians want is peace in the North and that is why the military has been deployed to the North. If the military carry out excessive practices, I believe civil societies and humanitarian organisation would be the voice. For now we need the end of Boko Haram era.

Hope the JTF is also working to ensure the boko boys does not start from other parts of the country.

When they were muzzling, destroying and killing biafrans, they were trustworthy infact they were the best. Now, the nigeria military is not trustworthy. Th......er fire that your mouth there. Nigeria military is the best and trustworthy.

Was it not this same adamawa that the governor was running his mouth questioning the president's declaration of SOE in his state claiming its the most peaceful. It is either he knows something about these guys or he has just shown how naive and uninformed he is about his state. As for the Nigerian army, kudos so far, smoke those niggers out anywhere you find them!
