Some minutes ago, news broke that the
abducted Chibok schoolgirls has been rescued
and are in the custody of the military in
Maimalari Barracks in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Unfortunately, the story has been confirmed
false.
The Director Defence Information, Major-
General Chris Olukolade, had erroneously
stated the girls had been released, only to
issue a rejoinder stating that the two bus loads
conveying other girls
to the barracks did not have the Chibok girls
who have been in captivity for five months.
This was also confirmed by sources in the
Borno State Government and Department and
State Security in the state. Instead, the bus
load was conveying some of the Chibok girls
who had earlier escaped in order to convey
them to their new schools outside Borno State.
Madam Oby Ezekwesili who has been at the
head of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign has
taken to Twitter to voice her concerns....
