Senator Isa Hamma Misau (APC, Bauchi Central) has raised alarm that the islamist Boko Haram terror group are relocating from their stronghold in Sambisa to Burra Forest in Ningi Emirate Council, Bauchi state.
According to the retired Police officer, Burra forest is linked through a corridor to the Falgore Forrest in Kano state and Saminaka in Kaduna State.
He said Burra Forest "is a very large forest extending to three states and it is from there that the terrorists are going to other places to unleash terror on people.
“They kidnap people daily, and receive between N3million and N5million as ransom,” he said, adding that the terrorists are in hundreds and carry out coordinated attacks.
A new Police division was opened in Burra to counter the terrorists' activities but the policemen couldn't cannot carry out operation in the forest because it is a high risk operation.
“I’m going to write to the National Security Adviser, the Chief of Army Staff and the Director of DSS for them to intervene. There is need for combined efforts of all security agencies in order to tackle the terrorists,” he said.
