A herd of about 250 elephants was seen moving across the savannah close to Rann in Borno State,

About 250 elephants have been sighted in Borno, close to the borders with Cameroon and Chad by the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service, UNHAS.

The elephants were spotted moving across the forest of Rann, Kalabalge Local Government Area of Borno State.

According to RFI, it is the first reported sighting of elephants in the region since the Boko Haram insurgency began a decade ago.

The report said further that “hundreds of elephants used to migrate through the region up until a decade ago at around the time Boko Haram began fighting to establish an Islamic state.

“In 2014, Abubakar Shekau’s faction of Boko Haram set up camp in the Sambisa Forest that was formerly a game reserve the size of Belgium and The Netherlands.”

Commenting on the development, Kabiru Wanori, Borno State’s environment commissioner, told RFI that “It shows that peace is slowly re-emerging.”

Evidence that peace is actually returning.

Those elephants would not be congregating in a place of crossfire.

Beremx:
How would the elephants know that the place is experiencing a crossfire?
You just reasoned like Lai Mohammed.

What a beautiful sight. If value were placed on them a conservancy would be set up in the vicinity to help boost the numbers of all the wild life there. It could be turned into a tourist centre since its ten times the size of Lagos, a very good animal conservancy centre needs to be setup there.

And you reasoned like Nnamdi Kanu.

You think animals would congregate where shots are being fired?

when the war is still ongoing? Remember what happened to the NNPC and Geology lecturers that went oil searching on Borno?
