Boko Haram relocates kidnapped girls to Cameroon border

Members of the dreaded sect, Boko Haram, have relocated the school girls they kidnapped in Chibok, Borno State to the border between Lake Chad and Cameroon.

The girls were abducted about a fortnight ago at the Government Secondary School in Chibok.

They over 200 girls were initially held by their captors at the Sambisa forest in Borno State.

However, a senator from Borno State, Senator Ahmed Zana, informed his colleagues on Tuesday that the girls have been moved out of Sambisa forest.

Zana also told the Senate that the girls have been forcefully married out to members of Boko Haram.

This information filtered in just as the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, urged the Federal Government not to have any sacred cow in the fight against terrorism.

Zana said it was unfortunate that the military waited until the girls were moved out of the forest to the border between Lake Chad and Cameroon.

Contributing the the debate on insurgency, Senator Maina Ma’Aji Lawan stated that with the onslaught of the military, the members of Boko Haram have relocated from Borno State to another location near Cameroon and Chad.

Lawan expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of the operation in Borno State by the military.

Senator Ali Ndume alleged that security agencies have become negligent.

Ndume said there was no attack that the military was not aware of before the terrorists struck.

He said: “I appreciate the motion but there is no action.

“We spoke to officers, they told us that there is no equipment and their allowances are not paid.

“I have not seen new equipment in Borno.

“They only use outdated guns.

“The people of Chibok and I thought we have been abandoned.

“Let us back our motion with action.”

Mark, who spoke against the backdrop of Nyanya, Abuja bombing and the kidnap of school girls in Borno State, added that the military should declare full strength and might to counter insurgency in Nigeria.
