Nigerian police are working on information that schoolgirls kidnapped by gunmen in the northwestern state of Zamfara were moved to a neighbouring forest, the state's police commissioner said on Friday.

He did not say whether those possibly moved to the forest included all 317 schoolgirls police earlier said were abducted.

"There's information that they were moved to a neighbouring forest, and we are tracing and exercising caution and care," said Abutu Yaro, commissioner of police in Zamfara, at a news conference.
