Breaking:Defence Headquarters Retracts Statement On Rescue Of Chibok Girls by NgeneUkwenu(f): 6:54pm On Sep 23, 2014
The Defence Headquarters has retracted its earlier statement confirming the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls.

The spokesperson for the defence headquarters, Chris Olukolade, had told PREMIUM TIMES that a yet unclear number of the girls had been freed and driven in two Toyota Hiace buses to the Maimalari Barracks, the headquarters of the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri.

But less than 30 minutes after he spoke to us, Mr. Olukolade called back to say he was withdrawing his earlier statement. He said he had been having difficulty establishing contact with his colleagues in Maiduguri and that he was no longer sure that the girls driven into the barracks were newly rescued.

Mr. Olukolade had told this newspaper the girls had been freed and that the rescue exercise was still ongoing and that appropriate statement would be made later. PREMIUM TIMES has also learnt that the girls driven into the Maimalari barracks were those who escaped earlier from the Boko Haram sect. The over 200 girls, mostly teenagers, were kidnapped from their secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, on April 14. With the military withdrawing its statement, it now does appear the girls are still in captivity. - See more at:

 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.

It's now very clear, we have drunkards heading our military!

No wonder we are not wining this war on terror.

Why would the International Community sell arms to a Clueless and inept Army??

Everybody is laughing at Nigeria now! Yeye people!

PR gone wrong. Chris Olukolade should be redeployed from the Defence Public Relations Department for this embarrassment he has brought to the Military, the Government and Nigeria.
In a saner country, he wÍll demand fÓr his redeployment or resignatioÑ.

This is the type of crass incompetence some people will like to sweep under the carpet and pretend everything is nice and dandy.
Reminiscent of how the girls were supposed to have been rescued 24 hours after they were abducted.

absolutely correct my boss, Jonathan's Army Generals seems to have deeply soaked themselves in a pond of alcohol, the way they act and behave will make one to mistake the government house for psychiatric center.

Meanwhile you sound like deep down in your heart you were never happy with the former news(even if it was false) all becos it puts PDP in good light. So for you its better those girls remain lost forever than for them to be rescued just to prevent GEJ from being commended bah? Na wa for you ooooo
