The 276 schoolgirls that were kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents at the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State,might have finally be discovered by the Nigeria Army.
Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, has stated that the security leadership has located where members of Boko Haram are holding the abducted girls who were kidnapped on April 14.
It was also stated that Badeh said the military would not use force to rescue the girls in order not to prevent the terrorists from killing them. The military boss was said to have made this statements while receiving a solidarity rally organised by the Citizens Initiative for Security Awareness, led by its National Coordinator, Mr. Chidi Omeze, outside the Defence Headquarters, Abuja on Monday. He also said that the Nigerian military had the capacity to bring back the abducted girls but are restrained because they do not want to use force.
He added that the military knew what it was doing and implored that Nigerians, and the world at large, should allow them to continue with their work. Adding that the military would not go and get the girls killed in desperation of bringing them back. He said: "We want our girls back,; we want our girls back; we can do it, our military can do it but where they are held, can we go with force? "If we go with force, what will happen? (they will kill them). So nobody should come and say the Nigerian military does not know what it is doing. We know what we are doing, we can't go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back. So we are working. "The good news for the girls is that we know where they are but we cannot tell you, we cannot come and tell you military secrets here. Just leave us alone, we are working, we would get the girls back."
