Nigeria has a countless number of forests but some are simply no-go areas. They are scary and dangerous for anyone to go into.
Falgore Forest, Kano
Falgore Forest located in the midst of three local government areas in Kano state is a massive piece of nature that has gradually become a scary monster. Residents and passersby avoid hanging around it; they hurriedly pass by without staying to take any form of inquisitive look.
Due to the thick and impenetrable nature of this forest, it has become a safe haven for criminals who seek hideouts for their untoward activities. The forest is also infested with all sorts of wild creatures that roam loose; all these make this forest a scary landmark.
Kamuku Forest, Kaduna
Kamuku Forest is so large that it was dubbed the ‘Sambisa’ of Kaduna State. This forest is bordered by five states, namely: Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi and Niger states. This gives you a hint of how large this forest is.
Aside from the tall trees which are dominant in this forest, the vegetation is quite sparse, to say the least (especially during the dry season). This forest is mostly dreaded because it has also been taken over by criminals who have comfortably made it their home.
Yan Mangu Forest, Zamfara
In the tropical town of Zamfara, sits a gift of nature, a real blessing to the ecosystem. Indigenes and settlers in Zamfara have come to appreciate this natural mass named the Yan Mangu forest. Cattle rearers comfortably took their cattle into the forest for grazing, young children
All these changed recently with the activities of criminals who decided to make the Yan Mangu their new home. Farmers steered clear of the area for fear of lives, and children were sternly warned to stay away from the vicinity of the forest to avoid abduction and being killed.
