According to Nigerian military, 200 girls have been rescued from Sambisa Forest

Nigerian troops have stormed the Sambisa Forest, a wide expanse of arid land North-east of Nigeria and rescued about 300 women and girls.

According to reports from the military headquarters, at least three major terrorists camps have been destroyed in the well coordinated attacks that include the destruction of the notorious Tokumbere camp in the Sambisa Forest.

While confirming the operation, the Director Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said he could not confirm the identity of the freed victims and their origin, neither could he state if any of them was from Chibok, Borno State, until after a thorough screening and proper investigations have been done.

“I can only confirm the rescued this afternoon of 200 girls and 93 women in different camps in the forest. We are yet to determine their origin as all the freed persons are now being screened and profiled. Please don’t misquote me on their origin. We will provide more details later.”

Last April, over 200 girls from the Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, were abducted by men suspected to be members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect in an operation which drew criticism from Nigerians and several notable members of the international community.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, in Abuja, said the Nigerian government will demand N84 million from South Africa to pay victims of xenophobic attacks.

Wali, who stated this while briefing the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs on his visit to South Africa on Tuesday said the attacks were instigated by some chiefs to kill Nigerians in their country.

He, however, noted that the South African government was not in support of the killings.

Wali said, “Total of Nigerians wounded or hospitalized is two, shops looted and damaged five, number of displaced Nigerian men is two, number of displaced women six, and number of displaced children eight.

“In terms of these attacks, our situation is minimal and luckily there are no fatalities and there is no serious injury.

“The assessment in terms of the compensation that we intend to now demand from South Africa when we have our next bi-national commission meeting in Abuja is N84 million.”

He also said Nigerians should be ready for evacuation in case the problem intensifies.

Arrest My Husband And Nigeria Will Boil –Asari-Dokubo’s Wife Dares Buhari

Barely 24 hours after her husband had warned the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari against sending any Nigerian to prison when he assume office, Hajia Mujahidat Dokubo-Asari of ex Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo has once again affirmed that no one can arrest her husband.

She voiced her anger via a post on Facebook thus “Buhari must start his victimisation of his perceived enemies called probing of missing funds from his own cabinet first and the said probe must take effect from 1978 when Buhari was the petroleum minister anything short of that is unacceptable to the Nigerian populace.

“ The probing must be all round not selective. For those myopic Almajiri fools who blab that Asari will be prosecuted , I’m sorry to disappoint you , Asari has never held any political post so think of something else  if your Buhari arrest Asari today, another one thousand Asari will sprang up instantly unless he want to commit genocide in the Niger delta. which you know is not possible in a democratic dispensation.
