The Chief of Defence State, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, has confirmed that the abducted schoolgirls of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, have been located.
He stated this on Monday in Abuja while addressing members of the Citizens Initiative for Security Awareness outside the Defence Headquarters, Abuja,
The CDS however, said it was not safe to carry out a raid on the location as such may jeopardize safety of the girls.
His words: “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.
“We are working. We would get the girls back,” Badeh assured.
