Reports reaching LEADERSHIP from communities around the Sambisa
forest in Borno State suggest that recent heightened military operations
around liberated territories have weakened the terrorists’ resistance
even as their arms supply channels have since been cut off.
Soldiers’ sustained offensive around the dreaded forests had since holed up the terrorists within the Sambisa forests, even as they could not get access to their main arms suppliers mostly from outside the shores of Nigeria.
The terrorists who now wander within and around pockets of communities outside Sambisa were seen by credible witnesses as they flock within the bushes armed with guns without ammunition.
A man who said he managed to escape his village,Tabe, in Damboa local government area informed journalise in Maiduguri that “the Boko Haram terrorists have run out of arms and ammunition as the military intensify attacks on Sambiza Forest”.
The escapee who declined mentioning his names to avoid being quoted in this report said there are still large groups of the dislodged terrorists who now suffer gross deficit of munitions.
“From time to time we see more than 500 Boko Haram members moving in groups but most of them lack rifles; even those were carrying guns could not use them to shoot because they are as good as ordinary sticks because they don’t have bullets due to lack of supplies”.
The source added that the terrorists had mostly fled the interior of the Sambisa forest due to the sustained aerial bombardment by the fighters planes of the Nigeria AirForce, had fled into some of the villages around the forests.
“The Boko Haram terrorists had, as a result of the recent aerial bombardment on the Sambisa forest, fled into the nearby bushes of Yamtake, Tabe and Jangoro villages of Damboa local government area. Unlike in the past that they would come with guns and bombs, we now see them armed with only bow and arrows, machetes, daggers and other local weapons”.
