24TH MAY 2014
As the war against the Boko Haram by the
Federal Government intensifies, the Nigerian military has reportedly
bombed the sect’s camps located in parts of Bauchi State, local and
security sources have disclosed.
As early as 6:00a.m., locals said they heard
loud sounds of explosives coming from the forest where insurgents’ camps
were reportedly located.
It has been reported that sizeable numbers
of gunmen suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect have
been operating in the Balmo forests in Darazo, Burra in Ningi, Soro in
Ganjuwa and Yugda forests between Zara-Miya, while another camp is
believed to exist around the Bauchi-Gombe boundary in Alkaleri.
Some of the locals in the forest communities,
who pleaded anonymity for security reasons, said the vibration shook
their houses to their very foundation, adding that shortly after the
explosive sounds were heard, they saw military aircraft bearing Nigerian
flags hovering in the area.
A reliable security source in the state
confirmed that the army has started operation in the forest but did not
give details of the development, adding that the exercise was carried
out without creating panic among the inhabitants of the forests.
