Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, has revealed that he has information on the whereabouts of about 200 girls of Chikob secondary school kidnapped by the Boko Haram sect. Governor Kashim Shettima his info is very credible and that he had passed the information to the military for verification. Shettima added that he did not think the girls had been taken across the border to Chad or Cameroon. They are here!
“I said to President Jonathan where we can help, please ask, and we will see what we can do. I rang the Nigerian president to offer anything that would be helpful and we agreed to send out a team that includes some counter-terrorism and intelligence experts to work alongside the bigger American team that’s going out there.”
Said the UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who added that it was unlikely that Nigeria would ask for British troops to help, giving the way the government is going about the unfortunate incident.
Earlier, the President of France, Francois Hollande, offered to host a summit on Boko Haram. “I suggested with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, a meeting of Nigeria’s neighbouring countries. If the countries agree, it should take place next Saturday” he said.
Countries neighbouring Nigeria; Cameroon, Niger and Chad, would be invited to the security summit.
Meanwhile, President Jonathan said an Israeli counter-terrorism team would arrive Nigeria to help search for the schoolgirls, who were abducted last month. It seems he is more comfortable with Israel than America.
