According to a camp officials some victims of insurgency rescued by Nigerian troops from Boko Haram hideouts in Sambisa might be secretly communicating with the terrorist group, Channels reports.

As a result, some 260 women and children have been relocated from a camp in the north-eastern city of Yola to an unspecified military facility.

Government authorities said the rescued women and children would be housed in the military facility under the Countering Violent Extremist (CVE) programme, a government’s soft approach to combating terrorism.

The 260 women and children were brought to Mal Kohi Camp in Yola, on May 2 after their rescue from the Boko Haram terrorists in Sambisa Forest in Borno State.
