BORNO—There were fears yesterday 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 their new haven in Balmo
Forest, which borders Borno and Bauchi states.
Vanguard gathered that communities contiguous
to Sambisa forest raised the alarm through
phone messages when they saw a large number
of Boko Haram militants leaving the dense jungle
early in the day on Wednesday and driving
towards the border town with Bauchi.
When Vanguard contacted a military source, it
was learnt that the security agencies had started
mapping out strategies to deal with the
development while efforts are on to ensure
security beef up in the areas where the
insurgents were believed to be relocating to.
The apparent relocation of the insurgents
follows an embarrassing incident two days ago
when close to 500 Nigerian soldiers fled to
neighbouring Cameroon in order to escape from
a fierce contingent of Boko Haram militants that
attacked Gamboru-Ngala, a major town near the
border with Cameroon.
A text message sent by Vanguard last night to
the Director of Defence Information, Major
General Chris Olukolade on the issue, was not
responded to.
It will be recalled that the Chibok girls were
abducted in April this year.
Security sources believed that the insurgents
were relocating from Sambisa forest for fears of
a major offensive by the military in a bid to
rescue the abducted girls and demobilise their
operational headquarters.

I will consider this post a figment of a BH sympathiser until proven otherwise.

Just search "balmo" on nairaland search portal and you will see several posts on the topic.

Its one we discussed at length and even praised our military for the success.


I am really surprised by your lack of awareness of this fact.
