Military knows exactly where Chibok girls are – Defence Chief

The Chief od Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh has authoritatively stated that the Nigerian military knows the exact location where the Chibok girls are being kept by Boko Haram.

Badeh called on the Nigerian public to exercise patience and let the military do their work in a professional manner as storming the Boko Haram base may lead to heavy casualties among the girls.

Addressing members of  Citizens Initiative for Security Awareness who paid a courtesy visit to Defence Headquarters in Abuja, Badeh said, “We want our girls back, we want our girls back, we can do it, our military can do it but where they are held, can we go with force?

“If we go with force, what will happen? (they will kill them). So nobody should come and say the Nigerian military does not know what it is doing. We know what we are doing, we can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back. So we are working.

“The good news for the girls is that we know where they are but we cannot tell you, we cannot come and tell you military secrets here. Just leave us alone, we are working, we would get the girls back.”
