Nigeria – Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima
theorizes that the over 200 Chibok Girls abducted in 2014 could be in a bunker.
He said this as the soldiers comb the dreaded Sambisa forest which they have
gained considerable control of against the insurgents.
“We are suspecting that Chibok girls are living with
the insurgents in bunkers, I think the military must carry out their operations
beyond the surface earth,” he insisted.
Shettima, spoke in Abuja,
while presenting a paper at a two-day post election conference on security and
governance, organized by the Savanna Centre, a Non Governmental Organisation,
NGO, established by former Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Prof.
Ibrahim Gambari.
The governor, who was
represented at the occasion by the Secretary, Borno Elders Forum, Dr Bulama
Mala Gubio, said the dreaded sect, having operated in the large expanse of the
forest for so many years unchallenged, were able to build a bunker, large enough
to accommodate many people in the area.
“They (Boko Haram) were also known to have dug tunnels
to enable them move from house to house. So, having been left unchallenged for
such a long time, such possibilities cannot be ruled out which poses serious
obstacles within the forest, “the governor added.
