Many of the terrorists dislodged from Zamfara and Sokoto states have been relocating to the South-East and South-South regions, security and intelligence sources have revealed to Saturday PUNCH.

The insurgents, according to the sources, are utilising interconnected forest corridors and riverine routes stretching through Niger, Kogi, and Anambra states to escape military pressure in the North.

The sources, including a security chief, a retired Army General and an officer of the Department of State Services, said the terrorists were migrating through Niger and Kogi states into Anambra, from where they moved into Abia and Imo states, while others have pushed further south.

“These terrorists started moving from Zamfara; they went through the bushes and forests and might have ended up in other states, including Imo and Abia. Some are even in Ogun State,” a security chief disclosed.

“The Ansaru group, Sadiku, Masua and other groups are in Niger, Kwara and some parts of the South-West. Very soon, we are going to get them. They have been degraded,” the source added.

Kogi as centre point

Explaining how the terrorists are navigating their way to the southern regions, a retired Army General said the insurgents were heavily reliant on the Niger River corridor in the eastern part of Kogi State, particularly in Igala land, to cross into Anambra State and move onward to Imo and Abia.

“The connecting links for these terrorists are the forests that network the North (Zamfara–Benue–Niger–Kogi) with the South-East and South-West: Anambra, Ekiti and Ondo states, to be specific,” the retired General said.

Describing Kogi as the intersecting point for terrorist movements, he said the state had been serving as a central point for logistics and coordination.

“The terrorists are guided by cattle paths in the bush; I am not saying they are herders because herders are also victims of banditry or terrorism. The bandits kill them and rustle their cattle. That is why you see herders moving with their cattle on major roads,” he said.

“So, they use the cattle routes in the forests because there is transhumance. The intersecting points are Kogi and Kwara. They connect to the South from those states through the Oyo National Park and the riverine and forested terrain along the Niger River in Igalamela-Odolu and Ofu Local Government Areas of Kogi.”

He added a political dimension to the security situation in the area, saying, “Kogi is central to their planning. It is like the centre point, maybe for convergence and strategy. Unfortunately, a former Kogi governor, who introduced violence in that area and armed some criminals, disbanded those boys. But the guns were not recovered. Some of those boys are now with the terror groups. That is why if some Boko Haram members are arrested today, you see a lot of boys from Kogi, particularly Ebira and the Igala area.”

Southern transit routes

A DSS officer who confirmed the development to Saturday PUNCH said the pathways in the Niger forests link a massive web of states, including Niger, Kwara, Kogi, Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti.

“They have a command centre in Kogi where they train and strategise. There is a forest in Kogi that links the Ikole/Ijero forest and the Ogbese Forest Reserve in Ekiti State. That forest also links Ose and Ikare in Ondo State. They gain access to Edo State through that route,” the officer said.

Findings by Saturday PUNCH showed that Ose shares a direct boundary with the Owan area of Edo State, which provides one of the most direct South-South linkages from the corridor.

Further findings also revealed that the Owerre-Ezukala/Ogbunike/Awka-Orlu axis between Anambra and Imo states features dense forests, deep valleys and difficult terrain, making it a viable route for fleeing terrorists.

Similarly, the Ihiala-Orlu-Okigwe corridor, connecting parts of Anambra and Imo, contains extensive vegetation and bush paths that provide natural cover..

You are not far from the truth. My humble take as well

[Itsede Okhai @Senior_Sley]

Why do kidnappers succeed in collecting ransom from their victims?

Based on my job, I learnt something special this week from Security Agents in Mali that we went on a rescue mission together. I don't know if the Nigerian Security Agencies are in collaboration with kidnappers to take ransom and share together, if not no kidnapper can succeed in taking any ransom where security formation is effective.

The story is that, I received a message from Nigeria concerning a 16 year old girl that was trafficked to Mali for sex trade. This victim called her parents about the situation and they passed the message to me from government agency for an urgent rescue.

When I called the number that the victim used to call her parents and I asked the traffickers to send the victim to me so that she can go back to Nigeria, they refused. Later they remove the line from their phone, now the number is out of use. I now informed a security agent about the situation because what is important is to rescue the 16 years old girl from sexual exploitation.

Now, the number I used to contact the traffickers is no more in use. I don't know the name of the village the victim is. I sent the number that they have removed and brake to the security agent. After two hours, they notify me the name of the village and the current new number the traffickers are using. We went on a mission without calling the new number. We arrived at the village in the midnight because it was about 15 hours journey. The second day, Information reach us the exact location the phone number was last used before they switched off the phone. After an hour, information came again that the person is having appointment with somebody by 11:00am. We hang around the place. When the person came around, there was a vibration from one of their security gadget to know the person coming with the number. We monitor her entry to the house. We were able to rescue the victim on 20/12/22. No call. Nothing.

So ransom collection in Nigeria could be between the kidnappers and security agencies. If not, no Nigerian should pay ransom to any kidnapper if really our policemen have the necessary security gadgets.

This is just a trafficking issue and not that some criminals will hide somewhere and calling people twice to pay ransom. You cannot call three times before being caught in Mali.

That is the reason I said, Nigerian Security Agents could be in collaboration with the kidnappers to take ransom from people.

Nigerian Army have told you the Boko Haram are Nigerians, & must be rehabilitated. NSA Ribadu has told you that terrorists are your brothers & sisters. So it’s a family affair. Gen Christopher Musa was appointed for the optics, to pacify Trump. Do I have to spell it out to you?

Happening in Northern Nigeria. I have never seen them protesting against the killings in the North.

Imagine, protesting over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Khamenei

VIEWER DISCRETION STRONGLY ADVISED

This 15-year-old girl, Endurance Sabon, was brutally attacked and had her palm hand chopped off, after her family rejected a forced marriage proposal by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Goska community, Kaninkon Ward, Kafanchan, Jama’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

She is literally a baby. Her only crime is being a Christian in Kaduna State, one of the hotbeds of genocidal terrorism against Christians. This is why all the children they abduct hardly ever return - they either subject these little Angels to forced marriages and conversion, or sell them as slaves to the highest bidders or worse still, r*pe and sacrificially murder them.

The image the Bible paints of the devil isn’t this scary and disgusting. We have the worst of hell’s demons in our midst. Vengeance!
