LEADERSHIP Sunday gathered that people of Shiroro and Munya local government areas which have been worst hit in the last few months have started getting a respite.
It was learnt that apart from the intense operations by the military around the forest adjoining Birni Gwari in Kaduna State, rains are also making it difficult for them to operate freely along the swampy forest with their motorcycles. It was learnt that the terrorists were having a camp in Goron Dutse near Birnin Gwari from where they emerge to strike in Niger but in a meeting in Kurebe they decided to shift a camp to the state.
Sources hinted that the group that wanted to relocate to Niger controls Unguwan Baushe, Akambu, Kanon Machi and Unguwan Kumallo along the Birnin Gwari axis and tried to move through Jelako and Ga-gafada to cross in a bid to escape military actions in Kaduna State. Consequently, it was further learnt that the military operatives in Niger had also renewed their operation and resisted the plans of the terrorist groups.
