Federal Government Gives Update on Abducted Chibok Girls
The
Federal Government has reiterated its stand to recover the missing
Chibok girls from suspected members of Boko Haram terrorists.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has
restated commitment of the Federal Government to tracking the location
of the missing Chibok girls.
Mohammed said it was important for the military to adopt less lethal procedures compared with the drastic measures employed by neigbouring countries along the Sambisa Forest.
He said the public should commend the military and provide needed information to further decapitate the insurgents.
Mohammed, who spoke during Channels TV, Sunrise programme, said “we are a bit constrained. I know that some countries have set certain fire around the Sambisa forest in order to smoke out the Boko Haram insurgents but we are being careful because we are still looking for the Chibok girls and we do not want unnecessary collateral casualties.
“I know that many of our neighbours like Mali and Niger have employed certain procedures because of our major objective that we are still looking for the Chibok girls, so in some parts of Sambisa forest, we cannot adopt such drastic approaches.”
The 235 Chibok girls were declared missing for about 300 days, while efforts were made to ensure their safe arrival.
