Nigeria’s military knows where more than 200 schoolgirls abducted last month by Islamist militants are being held and is studying how to rescue them, Chief of Defense Staff Air Marshal Alex Badeh said.
“The good news for the parents of the girls is that we know where they are, but we cannot tell you,” Badeh told human rights activists yesterday in the capital, Abuja, in remarks broadcast on Radio Nigeria today. “We want our girls back, I can tell you that our military can and will do it. But we can’t kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.”
