We do not know where exactly the Chibok girls are, it’s only when they come out that we can now identify that this is one of the abducted Chibok girls – Military

Maj.-Gen. Musa Danmadami, the Director of Defence Media Operation, has stated that they do not possess the capacity or technology to determine the location of the Chibok schoolgirls who were kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents in 2014.

During a bi-weekly press briefing on Thursday, May 18, Danmadami addressed questions from journalists and emphasized that Sambisa forest, where the insurgents often hide, is not impenetrable. He highlighted that ongoing military operations in the area are compelling the terrorists to emerge and surrender.

He said; “Precisely on the Chibok girls, the Chibok girls are just like any other human beings like us here; you cannot see anybody walking and just identify that this is a Chibok girl. There’s no way the military can have the capacity or technology know that precisely this is where the Chibok girls are.

“It’s quite some time now that these girls have been missing or abducted. So, now because of the intensity of operations, most of them are escaping from the terrorists and coming out. It’s only when they come out that we can now identify that this is one of the abducted Chibok girls.
