Members of the Boko Haram sect are regrouping in Sambisa Forest, according to reports.
The terrorists have gathered in large numbers in the notorious stronghold forcing Nigerian soldiers to retreat, AFP reports.
“Boko
Haram are in large numbers in Sambisa. All their fighters who were
pushed out of Bama, Dikwa, Gwoza and Damboa (in Borno state) all moved
to Boko Haram camps in Sambisa,” a member of the local vigilante, who chose to remain anonymous, said.
“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 added.
A major
military operation to secure the forest started this week but was
stalled by the deaths of one soldier and three vigilante members from
landmine explosions.
National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki had earlier said that the troops would recapture the forest before May 29, 2015, when the government of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari will be sworn in.
