BWPRG in a statement commended the troops for uncovering ISWAP underground armory in Sambisa Forest. During the Sambisa Forest operations, troops recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition.

Announcing the latest rescue of a Chibok girl, Ms Saratu Dauda, on May 6, 2023, the theatre commander, North East Joint Operation, Hadin Kai, Major General Ibrahim Ali, said a total of 183 Chibok school girls have so far been rescued from captivity with 93 schoolgirls remaining.

The group’s statement signed by Mrs Amina Mele commended the Armed Forces of Nigeria under the leadership of Gen. Lucky Irabor for putting heavy fire on the insurgents.

She said, “We are happy over the fatherly disposition of the present chief of defence staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor towards the plight of families that have been in stress since the abduction of their daughters in 2014.

“We not only hope that ongoing military operations in our state and the entire North-East will restore total peace, but bring back our daughters in the hands of the terrorists.”
