No Chibok Girl In Our Custody – Chief of Defence Staff
Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Lucky Irabor, says no escaped Chibok Girl is currently in the custody of the military.
Major General Irabor who on Sunday led other Service Chiefs on an operational visit to the Headquarters, Command and Control Centre of Operation Lafiya Dole in Maiduguri, the Borno State Capital, told newsmen that contrary to claims making the rounds, there are no new set of escaped Chibok girls in the army’s custody.
The CDS, however, said, “We desire that the rest of the Chibok Girls receive their liberty and if our operations have helped these ones to escape, if it yielded such results, then we are glad.”
The Military Chief said more is being done to strengthen the efforts of the army, with the hope that they will yield desired results.
Recall that on April 14, 2014, Boko Haram gunmen kidnapped 276 girls aged between 12 and 17 from the Government Girls Secondary School in the remote town of Chibok in Borno state.
The girls were forced from their dormitories onto trucks and driven into the bush.
