Eight Boko Haram terrorists who came out to get food and
items from Goym village in Dikwa local government, Borno
state were arrested by visiting Civilian Joint Task Force men
who came from Gwoza.

The terrorists who came in a hilux
truck with some motorcycles were arrested at 4pm Friday
evening.

Upon interrogation, the terrorists revealed that the 234 girls
abducted from Chibok were still in Sambisa forest and that
they had been divided into three groups. They describe the
camps in Sambisa as very large. They said they were sent by
their leader to get items including clothes for the girls.

The civilians hoped military support will be sent to Dikwa
immediately as it is likely the terrorists return when they
find their men were arrested. They also hope “the
Americans” will act on this intelligence to rescue the
abducted girls.

Dikwa local government area is one of the local governments
that is a boundary of Sambisa forest, and is near Gamboru-
Ngala where 300 civilians were killed recently.

Maiduguri also remaains on high alert as two Boko Haram
members arrested by the Civilian JTF two days ago, one
pretending to be a phone card seller at Tashai Kamla market
told them Boko Haram was planning to attack and massacre
men, women and children in the capital city any day now.
