Nigerian Army source has said that Nigerian troops had been carrying ground operations right inside the notorious Sambisa forest since Saturday with the responsibility of finding and rescuing the abducted Chibok girls from the Boko Haram terrorists.
The operation which is reportedly targeted to liberate the forest, may not last more than one week as most of the strikes and special operations have knocked out Boko Haram’s defence systems.
The source further revealed that sustained aerial bombardment by the Nigerian Air Force for weeks now have now made it possible for the Army to move in today for ground operation.
“The operation is nearing its conclusion and the Army will be moving in today and I am sure in a matter of days, if plans goes accordingly the operations will be over. “The Air Force have been bombarding the area for weeks now and with the right kind of weapon, the Army is ready for the final onslaught”, the source said.
The source, however, added that even though there is no concrete evidence that the Chibok girls were in the forest, it will be the top priority of the military to find and rescue them if it eventually turns out they are being held there.
