Sambisa forest invaded by the military

The so much dreaded Sambisa forest which is believed to harbor Boko Haram training camps and facilities is being invaded by the military in order to flush out the insurgents.
It was learnt that the military high command decided to invade the vast forest in order to make the North-West safe for the general elections.
A reliable source in the Army told one of our correspondents in Abuja   that   Air Force jets started the raid on Monday. He added that surveillance activities and raids were also ongoing as of the time he spoke on Wednesday.

The source, who did not want his name in print because he was not authorised to speak on the development, said that massive ground operation would follow the aerial operations .

He said, “The military started an operation in the Sambisa Forest on Monday. For now, there are no specific cases of arrest; we don’t have that information now. The Air Force has been operating in the area since Monday. It is after that that the ground troops who are on red alert would be moved in.”
