Children’s footprints have been spotted in Sambisa Forest, the Boko Haram’s stronghold by Nigerian soldiers, according to Commander of the 29th Task Force Brigade, Brigadier-General B.A. Raji.

He explained that it was from this intelligence that troops use the most basic of tracking skills to hunt for evidence of people passing through.

“Sometimes we see children’s footprints,” he said, according to an agency report.

Commenting on the intelligence capabilities in gathering data relevant to the search, Ragi said 30 ISR drone planes provide an “eye in the sky” that has helped the soldiers immeasurably, directing them to enclaves of Boko Haram captives. But not their target – the Chibok girls.
