Boko Haram & ISIS Fighters ‘Chase’ Nigerian Troop Out Of Sambisa Forest, Landmines Killed 4 Boko Haram fighters have amassed in the
group’s Sambisa Forest stronghold in northeast
Nigeria, as a military offensive tries to flush
them out, a civilian vigilante told AFP on
Thursday. But soldiers were forced to retreat because of the
extensive use of landmines in the area, one of
which exploded killing a soldier and three
vigilantes. “Boko Haram are in large numbers in Sambisa,”
said the vigilante, who requested anonymity
for security reasons as he was part of the
operation. “All their fighters who were pushed out of Bama, Dikwa, Gwoza and Damboa (in Borno state) all
moved to Boko Haram camps in Sambisa,” he
added. Details of the offensive came as a series of
photographs circulated on social media accounts
linked to the Islamic State group of heavily armed
fighters, purportedly from Boko Haram. No independent verification was possible but
some of the accounts said the images were
released under the name “The Islamic State in
West Africa”. Boko Haram chief Abubakar Shekau pledged
allegiance to IS group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
in March. The Middle Eastern militants responded by
urging Muslims to support the rebels in Nigeria. A four-nation military operation launched in
February involving Nigeria, Chad, Niger and
Cameroon has recaptured swathes of territory
previously held by Boko Haram in three
northeast states. Last week, Nigeria’s national security advisor
Sambo Dasuki said troops would storm the vast
Sambisa Forest by the handover of power to
incoming president Muhammadu Buhari on May 29. It has been claimed that the 219 schoolgirls
kidnapped last April from the town of Chibok 80
kilometres (50 miles) away were being held in
the area. Others have said they may have been split up and
could be in Cameroon, Chad or elsewhere in
northern Nigeria. On Wednesday, the military said an offensive
was under way “in some forest locations”,
claiming to have killed a senior commander as
well as a number of militants who attacked a
patrol. “The operations especially in forest locations are
progressing in defiance of obstacles and landmines
emplaced by the terrorists,” defence spokesman
Chris Olukolade said in a statement. But the vigilante said progress over the last three
days had been severely hindered. “Boko Haram have buried landmines all over
the routes leading to their camps in the forest,
which is no doubt a huge obstacle retarding the
military offensive against them,” he said. Troops were forced to turn back just five kilometres
(three miles) from Boko Haram’s main camp
because of landmines. One soldier and three vigilantes were killed when
their vehicle hit a mine, he said. “There are no soldiers in Sambisa right now. We
all returned to Bama after the horrifying
experience of manoeuvring through
minefields,” he added.

I didn't sign a life contract, they did; I am not trained to fight, they are; I didn't swear to protect territorial integrity and the citizenry, they did; I am not paid as a military personnel, they are
