No forest in Sambisa; I’ll handle insecurity scientifically – Atiku
Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has described the Boko Haram insurgency as puzzling, noting that there was no forest in the Sambisa area.

He said this while responding to a question on the security situation in the North East, especially the Boko Haram insurgency in Borno State.

Atiku confessed that he was yet to fully understand what the whole Boko Haram insurgency phenomenon was about because there were several issues involved.
Atiku said, “I still cannot find in Borno State where a man can hide.

“I’ve been to the place called Sambisa. There is no forest there just shrubs above the ground. When you are flying back to Nigeria, you see people moving, I don’t understand.

“When I served in Borno, the then North East, I did not see where any person can hide. Yet, we deployed the Nigerian military which used to be the best, they fought many wars outside.
