President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the missing Chibok girls are still alive.
Jonathan stated this on Thursday, March 5, during an interview on “Kaakaki”, a programme on Africa Independent Television (AIT).
“The good thing is that they've not been killed,” Jonathan said about the girls who were abducted on April 14, 2014.
“They
are still alive because when terrorists kill they display,” the
President added referring to terrorist group, Boko Haram, which is
believed to have taken the girls.
“We can't just
move in with artilleries and clear the place. Because they may use them
as shields so we are working with the global best practices,” Jonathan
responded when asked why the girls’ hadn’t been rescued.
The
over 200 girls were taken from the Government Girls Secondary School in
Chibok, Borno State and most of them are still in captivity.
