After 40 days in captivity, the over 200 girls abducted by Boko Haram will soon be delivered into the hands of their families, the Federal Government has said.
Co-ordinator, National Information Centre, Mike Omeri said significant progress has been made by the domestic and international security agencies allied in their mission to #bringbackourgirls, and that the girls would be rescued “in a matter of days.”
Speaking in an interview with a major publication, Omeri said, “The very nature of the sensitivity of what we are doing demands that we provide information only on a need to know basis. That is why some of the posers you have raised, I would not be able to yield.”
“We are already winning the war against terror because when you look at the activities of our defence forces, including the police and the DSS, especially the number of attempted bombings that have been thwarted, you will agree with me that we are winning the war.
“The total attention and focus of the military on this war gives the confidence that by the time this chapter in this war is over, Nigerians would be pleasantly surprised and happy.
“Already, our troops are smoking the terrorists out of their hiding places.
“For instance, one of their hideouts in Darazo, Bauchi State, has been bombed repeatedly and they are now on the run.
“The support we are also receiving from our foreign partners has upped the tempo and we are confident that soon, very soon, the parents would have their children back and, by God’s grace, in safe and sound health.
“We are closing-in on them. But there is a limit to what I can volunteer.”
