Nigerian army has rvealed that the girls rescued from Boko Haram terror camps in Sambisa Forest on Tuesday are “not the Chibok girls.”
Nigerian troops rescued 200 girls and 93 women Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest in the northeastern part of the country, the Nigerian Armed Forces announced on its official Twitter account.
The forest is a stronghold for the militant Boko Haram group and purpoted home of 200 school girls abducted from Chibok in April last year.
Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said the rescued girls and women are still being screened and none has spoken to their families yet.
The 2014 mass abduction from Chibok led to an international social media movement, #BringBackOurGirls, to rescue them. Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group, has been kidnapping females for years and has hundreds in their custody.
The Tokumbere, Sassa and Tlafa terror camps were raided and destroyed, said a source close to the military. The Tokumbere camp is the most notorious, where the training of small children by Boko Haram is said to have occurred, the source said. Boko Haram terrorists were killed in the operation, but the military did not say how many.
In recent weeks, Nigerian troops and vigilantes moved into the Sambisa Forest. Last Wednesday the troops had to retreat because of explosive devices Boko Haram planted in the forest, according to military sources and a vigilante who was with the troops.
On Monday, troops re-entered the forest and on Tuesday afternoon they raided Boko Haram camps and rescued scores of girls and women.
“We stumbled on the girls and may find more,” army source said.

President Jonathan sacks IGP
President Jonathan sacks IGP Suleiman Abba, appoints DIG Solomon Arase as Acting IGP with immediate effect, according to a tweet by Dr. Reuben Abati, the spokesperson of the president
FINALLY THE TRAVELLER REACH HIS DESTINATION.
Suleiman Hashimu or ‘The
traveller’ as I prefer to call him is
an indigene of Katsina state,
Funtua to be precise. He was born
in Osun state but lives in Ibadan.
The traveler promised two years
ago to walk from where ever he is
to the capital of Nigeria, Abuja if
General Muhammadu Buhari
wins the election in 2015.
BBC Hausa , Voice of America and
Aminiya (a Hausa mgazine)
interviewed him.
He was in Lagos when Buhari was
declared the President-elect of
Nigeria. He left Lagos at about 5am
the next day and arrived Ibadan
around 6pm.
He went to get a police report to
allow for the smoothness of his
journey but couldn’t wait and so,
the D.P.O. gave him his phone
number. Despite several
discouragement from friends and
at the same time, inspiration from
friends and loved ones; he
continued from Ibadan to Oyo.
Then from Oyo to Ogbomoso.; And
from Ogbomoso to Ilorin with
much hospitality at every stop.
At Ilorin, some people escorted
him for some miles and he stopped
at Oloru. Oloru, to border’n Sa’ada
and then to Jebba. He received so
much hospitality from Jebba and
unlike other villages he met a lot
of people who had heard of the
traveller. About 20 people set off
with him from Jebba and after
some miles, about 18 went back
but the remaining two where
determined. They met with armed
robbers close to Makwa and
luckily, he already met one of
them in Jebba and he even gave
him 200 Naira for pure water. The
robber told his colleagues that he
was going to see Buhari and he
gave him 2000 Naira and then
slapped the two men with him.
He continued his journey from
Mkwa to Kudu and then to Kutigi.
He is currently in Kutigi and will
continue his journey to Bida
tomorrow by the grace of God.
I asked him about his encounter
with the different people and he
said it was remarkable. Actually he
gets more determined to move on
from the people. He was even
treated like a King in a village in
Niger.
They sang tribal songs he didn’t
understand and
Travellers stop to
provide him with food and
company along the way. Most of
them are familiar with him
because they travel the same route
daily. Sometimes up to 10 cars
would stop to converse with him.
News travelled with the public
transports to different places on
his route and people from several
cities, towns and villages on his
route would call to check up on
him and inquire about his journey.
He doesn’t know for sure if Buhari
knows of him but several of his
support organizations do. He
intends to reach Abuja by 27th of
May and celebrate with the new
president at his inauguration
ceremony.

Buhari May Scrap Ministers Of State
The President-elect, Muhammadu
Buhari, is said to be considering the reduction of the number of ministers as
part of his strategies for reducing cost of governance.This is
part of the cost-saving proposals which Buhari presented during the All
Progressives Congress’s National Working Committee meeting in Abuja on
Wednesday.
Those to be done away with are
ministers of state.
The NWC which is yet to conclude its
deliberations on proposals, according a high-ranking member of the APC NWC,
include streamlining the ministries and parastatals.
The NWC member said, “No concrete
decision has been reached on any of the issues yet. We are still meeting
tomorrow.”
The meeting, which was chaired by
the party’s National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, also reviewed the
just-concluded general elections, the deadlock in the Taraba State governorship
poll as well as the alleged electoral fraud in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.
The National Publicity Secretary of
the party, Lai Mohammed, who spoke to journalists during a short break by the
committee, confirmed that the NWC reviewed the governorship election.
He also said that with the “election
behind us, we have to prepare the ground for the transition committee and for
the business of the governance.”
