The federal government has deployed forest guards, who will join the military
Joint Task Force (JTF) in its bid to flush out elements of Boko Haram from their
hiding places.The Conservator General of National Park Service, Mr. Haruna Abubakar,
told the House of Representatives Committee on Environment on Monday that the
guards would help the JTF to comb the forests for hideouts of insurgents. The insurgents are believed to be using routes cutting through forests
in states like Borno, Yobe, Taraba and Adamawa to smuggle arms into the country
from Cameroon and other neighbouring countries.
