Why We Are Slow To Rescue The Chibok Girls – Presidency
Barely 102 days after the Chibok girls were kidnapped by members of Boko Haram in Borno State, the presidency has come out to make known the real reasons why the Federal Government has not been able to rescue the school girls.
The president made it known yesterday in a message to the participants of the Chatham House lecture series held at the Royal institute of International Affairs in London.
According to it, the government is taking a long time to bring back the 200 schoolgirls because it wants the girls to be recovered alive, using the 2004 experience of 300 kidnapped children, who were killed in an attempt by Russians to forcefully free them, as an example.

The president revealed his numerous plans to strike against the insurgents who are being funded by international and local sources. Vanguard also reports that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, told everyone present at the house lecture that the Nigerian Army has all it takes to bring back the schoolgirls, but all the Jonathan's administration is doing is to guide against a face-off that might jeopardize the lives of the children involved.
It would be recalled that just yesterday, the wife of the leader of Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Mujahid Asari Dokubo, said, just like her husband, the abduction of over 200 Chibok schoolgirls in Borno State on April 14 is a scam.
