Information coming in from Borno State in
northern Nigeria suggest that the Boko Haram
insurgents might be changing their base from
the Sambisa forest moving towards southern
Borno.
According to a report published by Sahara
Reporters today, Wednesday, 27 August, 2014,
residents living near Sambisa forest in Borno
State have reported seeing a large number of
Boko Haram militants leaving the thick forest
Tuesday’s morning and moving towards
southern Borno.
It was gathered that a security source also
confirmed the account of the villagers.
The source informed that Nigeria’s intelligence
agents were aware that members of the
Islamist sect, who had been holed up in
Sambisa forest, seemed to be relocating to the
large territories they have captured in their
recent attacks.
He added that the insurgents’ relocation is
most likely motivated by the sect’s recent
successes in capturing several major towns in
northern Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa States.
According to some villagers, who claimed to
witness the militants’ relocation, the
insurgents had been moving their families and
possibly many of their abductees to safer
grounds in towns captured in recent weeks.
A villager in Kirawa, a town on the
Cameroonian side, also said he had seen some
suspected Boko Haram militants moving
through Cameroonian territory to Nigeria with
large amounts of cargo in tightly secured
convoys.
Many people believe the alleged relocation of
the insurgents may be as a result of about 480
Nigerian soldiers who fled to neighboring
Cameroon some days ago in order to escape
from a fierce contingent of Boko Haram
militants that attacked Gamboru-Ngala, a
major town near the border with Cameroon.
It was reported after the incident that the
militants easily seized the town, and hoisted
their flags at a police station and the home of
a former governor, Ali Modu Sheriff.
It was reported that the fleeing soldiers, who
ran away with civilians, left behind four
armored personnel carriers (APCs) and a huge
cache of arms that the militants have taken.
Only on Tuesday, the absconding soldiers were
repatriated to Nigeria by the Cameroonian
authorities .
Meanwhile, many villagers that were displaced
because of the heavy fighting Gamboru-Ngala
are still trapped in Fotocol, a small town near
Ngala.
At least, 10, 000 people have lost their lives
while tens of thousands of others have been
internally displaced from their communities in
northeastern Nigeria due to Boko Haram
insurgency since 2009.

Is Boko Haram now stronger than Nigerian Army. If the insulgents could capture an entire town, that means capturing a whole state is possible.
