Boko Haram: Abducted Chibok girls reportedly now in Balmo forest

There was panic on Wednesday when news filtered in 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 a new location in Balmo Forest, which borders Borno and Bauchi states.
It was gathered that communities close to the Sambisa forest raised the alarm, disclosing that they saw a large number of Boko Haram militants leaving the thick jungle early in the day of Wednesday and driving towards the border town near Bauchi.
A military source had confirmed to Vanguard that the security agencies had started putting in place strategies to deal with the development, while all hands are now on deck to ensure security is properly beefed up in the areas where the insurgents were believed to be relocating to.
The sudden relocation of the insurgents came after 500 Nigerian soldiers were found in neighbouring Cameroon as the engaged in a fierce battle with Boko Haram militants that attacked Gamboru-Ngala, a major town near the border with Cameroon.
We recalls that the Chibok school girls were abducted from their boarding house in the month of April this year.

Some security sources have opined that the insurgents may be relocating from Sambisa forest for fears of a major attack by the military in a bid to rescue the abducted girls and demobilize their operational headquarters.
