The girls, 34 in number had earlier escaped from Boko haram militants in April as they were being driven away from the scene of the massive abductions in Chibok. The Borno state government said the girls were heading to new schools secured from them in Kaduna with full military escort.
Major General Chris Olukolade, director of Defense Information for the Nigerian army, has rebuffed news reports today claiming that the Chibok schoolgirls were released. The below report, which comes from the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, claims buses said to be driving into Maimalari barracks in Borno State carrying the abducted girls were conveying "other individuals".

I have said it severally that until dasuki and gusua are sacked--this unthinking method of making the government look unfocused will continue to haunt the president-----the army--is in its worst state since our flag independence----------Sadly there are patriotic Nigerians- who are being killed daily by the boko haram insurgents---while those who do not even know where borno state is located laugh home to the bank with their loot--------------this so because we have the wrong people at the helm of affairs in the army------------its been lies upon lies---------------upon lies upon lies----------------------since Badey and his group took over--the command--------------of the armed forces------the whole thing is becoming so childish-----------------------------sadly some of the traitors-in charge are the fulani janjaweeds from the north-------who control the affairs of the army----I mean is the Nigerian armed forces left with no shame--in them? -------we shall continue to dance in circles until we see the need to separate---------------------the money being wasted in all these never ending madness is not from the ground-nut pyramid--or cocoa--------------so who cares---------------the lies will continue to build--------------------how an army formation can leak the release-----------of the chibok girls to the public without first ensuring that the assignment has been accomplished---------------simply means we longer have an army in place in Nigeria----------------that is the truth of the matter----------------Nigeria has no standing army----Yet they are often the first to publish news about bunkering from the oïl rich niger delta---region---since the arrival of gusau and dasuki on d scène--------a season NSA would have called a press confab to explain--but dasuki feels because he is a prince he is too big to be a servant-----------of the people--so why not quit
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame of a nation! I wonder why Defense spokesman has to goof like this... Was it when he was taking some ogogoro and pepper soup he got the message from the cloud?
ReplyDeleteI think the man needs a psychiatric attention and needs to be sacked. What a shame. Our Defense HQ has now become a rumor mongering HQ....
DeleteThe girls may have been re-kidnapped and returned to the BH just like Dr. Davis told us it once happened to his rescue deal...
ReplyDeleteThis is highly irresponsible of DHQ to be playing "emotional games" with the minds of the families of those girls. This is how they told us they had rescued all but 8 of the victims when actually none had been rescued. Shameless clowns. They are not even worried about the credibility damages their yo-yo stories are causing their image as a once formidable force. Cameroon announced the killing of a "Shekau" with pictures for the whole world to see... every facet of this government and institution in Nigeria is just reeking of incompetence. This Chris Olukolade chap and ugly Mari Mata, Marilyn Ogar, have served Nigerians enough bulldung to deserve a kick in their back portions. Nonsense! Those girls better be free as they've told us or else...
I go break odeku bottle for Kolade skull. Oloshi.
