D espite the end of Operation Desert Sanity III, which recorded
great successes in Sambisa forest with the rescue of 386
kidnap victims, troops will remain to rid the forest of
terrorists, the Nigerian Army said yesterday.

It said the fact that Operation Sanity III had ended didn’t mean an end to operations in the forest, spokesperson of 7 Division Nigerian Army in Maiduguri, Lt. Col. A.Y. Jingina told our correspondent in a
telephone chat yesterday.
The military launched Operations Desert Sanity III to eliminate
remnants of terrorists from Sambisa forest. It offered insurgents an
option to willingly surrender for the 10 days the operation lasted.
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen. Christopher Musa, told The Nation
that the victims were rescued within four days during the operation.
He confirmed that the military launched the operation to rid the forest of terrorists ahead of the raining season.
On Sunday, the Acting-General Officer Commanding, 7 Division, Brig.-
Gen. AGL Haruna, announced the rescue of the 386 kidnapped
victims at a news briefing in Konduga local government area of Borno State.
The victims were handed over to the Borno State Government in
Maiduguri, the state capital, on Monday.
Lt.-Col. Jingina said: “The people that were handed over to the state
government were the people that were rescued during the operation.
“If we organised operations of this nature, the troop is not that they
are going to withdraw soldiers from wherever they are. If we are to
do that, they (the terrorists) will come and overrun us. We have
soldiers all over – in Bama, Goza – all over the place, they will
continue to do their normal routine duty. Not as if they will go and
sleep.
“The handing over of the kidnap victims is the climax of that
operation. The operation was to last for four days initially but it end
up lasting for 10 days.
“If you go for operation and you see that you are gaining successes…
that is why the operation lasted for 10 days instead of the initial four
days. And you can see the success. They recovered some equipment and other things from the Sambisa forest.
“Some of the women rescued said that they had been in the forest for over 10 years, but the military went there and rescued them during the operation.”
“The Borno State Government will rehabilitate them after which they
will integrate them into the wider society. That is how it is done.”
