Federal Government recruits forest guards to fight Boko Haram
According to Punch, the Federal Government has resorted to
recruiting forest guards to assist the Joint Task Force in combating
Boko Haram insurgents in the northern part of the country.
Most of 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.
