The Chief of Army Staff, General Kenneth Minimah, on Tuesday, said that despite the liberation of some towns and villages in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States, the troops have not been able to establish the whereabouts of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
It would be recalled that the girls were abducted from their school in Chibok, Borno State, by Boko Haram militants over a year ago.
But speaking to State House correspondents after the National Security Council meeting in Abuja, Minimah said, “No news for now. In all the liberated areas, we have also made inquiries but the truth is when the terrorists are running away they also run with their families. And those we have come in contact (with) have not made any comment suggesting that Chibok girls were there and taken away.
“But we are optimistic that as the war gets closer, the territory is becoming elusive to them (terrorists) and we will get further details on that.”
President Goodluck Jonathan had in February declared that the abducted girls were still alive and would soon be rescued.
