“For now, there is 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 move in.Sambisa Forest is believed to be the hideout of the insurgents and was also used as the holding place of the over 200 schoolgirls, kidnapped from Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, Borno, on April 14, 2014.
The question is why wait till this time to declare a full scale war on the BH boys? Should Nigerian lives be just part of the bids for political relevance? God is watching and Nigerians are ready too.
