According to Zahra Umoru, a teenager among the women and children rescued from the Sambisa forest, Boko Haram insurgents were able to delay the rescue of their victims based on the information they had on the itinerary of the military.
Speaking at Malkohi, one of the camps for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Yola, Adamawa state, Umoru said the insurgents kept moving captives from one place to the other, according to TheCable.
“When they captured us, we were taken to a house in Gwoza. When they heard soldiers were in Madagali, they took us to Peta where we lived under trees,” said Umoru, who was captured in November.
“We don’t know how Boko Haram gets its information, but they always know when the soldiers are coming. If there’s something like that, they just tell us to pack our things and run.
“The night we left Gwoza, we just finished cooking, but we were not allowed to eat the food; we were just packed and left.”
Some other girls in the camp confirmed that they were moved from one village to another, one bush to the other, town to town, based on the movement of the military.
