Christian elders from Borno and Adamawa state urge the Federal Government to deploy forest guards to Sambisa Forest as part of efforts to curb insurgent activity in Nigeria’s North-East. The elders say additional security personnel in the forest area is necessary to dislodge terrorists and help restore safety for communities affected by insecurity. The call is made in Abuja, according to the reports, at the conclusion of a three-day fasting and prayer programme organised by Marghi leaders. Alongside the request for federal action, the organisers seek divine intervention as the North-East continues to face attacks and security challenges. The sources present the appeal as a community-level security recommendation directed at the federal authorities. They do not provide details on specific operational plans, timelines, or the number of guards to be deployed, but they link the proposed deployment to strengthening counter-insurgency and improving overall security across the region.
