According to online newspaper, Premium Times, the kidnapped Chibok school girls have been moved  from Sambisa forest in Borno state towards a forest around Ashaka, Gombe state.

This information was divulged by a security official, who sought anonymity as he was not allowed to speak of the situation, also denying the rumour that some of the girls were rescued on Saturday.

The official said he is hopeful for a positive outcome in the rescue of the girls based on the ongoing cooperation between Nigerian officials and their counterparts from the U.S. and U.K.

Premium Times reports:

“It is not true that they have been rescued yet, but we noticed and observed movement of some of the girls from the Sambisa region towards Ashaka forest in Gombe state”, said the security personnel.

The officer added that efforts are being put in place to “carefully track” the abductors and get the girls freed.

“We have not, even for once, lost hope that these girls would be freed. This is a delicate matter which must be handled with all professionalism and absolute care”, the source added.

For almost a month that the over 250 girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, the Nigerian military has decided not to provide information on details of its rescue efforts.

The military has, however, said it is doing its best to free the girls.

In a response to PREMIUM TIMES enquiry on the reporting sightings of the girls at the Gombe forest, military spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, said “this will have to be verified as no such information has been received. However, every information gets acted upon somehow.”
