It is the last bolt hole for Boko Haram terrorists and is believed to be where they are still holding some of the schoolgirls they kidnapped a year ago.

Steadily taking back territory seized by the Islamist terror group Boko Haram, Nigerian planes have been straffing the Samibisa forest for some months.

The militants, who’ve killed thousands since their offensive started six year ago designed to create a caliphate in the north east of Africa’s most populous country, have several bases in the forest.

Nigerian forces have thusfar stopped short of attacking these bases, where they believe some of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls are being held, for fear of further endangering the hostages.
