Sambisa Forest: What You Need To Know by makzeze: 8:55am On Mar 06, 2015 |
Sambisa Forest and Sambisa Forest Reserve are located in Nigeria . It was a game reserve in colonial times. [1] It covers an area of approximately 60,000 square kilometers [2] in Nigeria's northeast, in the states of Borno, Yobe, Gombe , and Bauchi , along the Darazo corridor, Jigawa, up to some parts of Kano State in the far north. [1] In 1991, the then Borno State government incorporated it into the Chad Basin National Park with a total area of about 2,258 square kilometres. This Chad Basin National Park also included the Hadejia-Nguru wetlands in modern day Yobe State. At the time, the Sambisa Game Reserve had leopards, lions, elephants, hyenas and huts built for tourists to stay in. However, the federal/state government allowed the place to fall into a state of disrepair as the animals died, the roofs leaked, weeds covered the roads, water stopped flowing, there was no power and the whole reserve became another derelict white elephant It is widely suspected that the Sambisa forest has since become a haven for alleged terrorist group Boko Haram [3] Information from the area suggests that Boko Haram fighters can be seen in the game reserve relaxing and training. Their women carry out the usual chores like cooking, laundry, etc. in the area and the place is like any normal Nigerian community. As of 2014 it is considered a refuge of the Boko Haram terrorist group. It has been speculated that the victims of the Chibok schoolgirl kidnapping were taken into this forest by Boko Haram members.
