•Vows to rescue the girls, other hostages
Senator Iroegbu in Abuja

The Nigerian military has branded the latest video by Boko Haram terrorists allegedly showing healthy-looking Chibok girls as propaganda by the terrorists to divert attention from the ongoing rescue operations.

The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brig-Gen. Rabe Abubakar (rtd), while responding to injuries on Thursday, said that the military cannot authenticate the new video.

Abubakar said that it is the terrorists antics, which he vowed, will not derail the ongoing military operations and efforts to clear all parts of the North East of Boko Haram remnants.

He said: “In as much as we saw the menus, we cannot authentic the video. Listen, all these things are campaign. In as much as we saw the so called video, it has nothing to do with our own activities, even though we are sympathetic to the plight of our sisters and brothers with the ungodly group.

“In as much as we have seen the video, it has not nothing to do with our operations. In this era of social media, anytime can happen. It can be concocted because in this era of social mega, anytime can happen, so people should not carried away.”

What do one believe again in this naija?

Ikengawo:
yoruba people are really using the internet to confuse themselves

Serenity008:
If you believed that those girls were actually kidnapped, then you the corruption we are talking about in this country.

APC used that tool to discredit GEJ regime and it worked for them.

Lai Mohammad said on CNN this morning that government is negotiating for the release of the girls, Military say the want to rescue the girls without negotiating. The girls look so neat and over fed. The truth will surely come out someday.

Pidggin:
Haha only a gullible person will see such well fed people and agree that those girls are with BH. Pure lies

yekparikpa:
If Boko Haram Could kill their wives and thousands of people, why do we think they'll be so concerned about protecting just a few hundreds? Those girls are probably dead,that's if there ever was any kidnap!

frainc:
The truth is coming out gradually

First it was "one of kidnapped chibok girls call her father" haba , so she's still using the same phone number?
And nobody has ever called the number since the day she was kidnap? Including her parents?
And the kidnappers also allow her to keep the phone with her(for good two years)
And who recharge her phone to call her father?Now, new video show well feed and neat children as "kidnapped chibok girls
is it those Boko Haram members that always look sick (according to the pictures we are seeing on net and papers) will be able to take care of those children?My prayer isBy the power that created the world Any Propaganda that APC (All Past Criminals) use against Jonathan (to remove him) will surely work against them #Awollo

Boko Haram, whose name in Hausa, the dominant language in northern Nigeria, means “Western education is forbidden,” has targeted and killed teachers, education workers and students. At least 611 teachers have been deliberately killed and a further 19,000 have been forced to flee since 2009. More than 2,000 people, many of them female, have been abducted by the group, many from their schools from the beginning of the conflict. Thousands more students and teachers have been injured, some in deadly suicide bombs in the same period. Between 2009 and 2015, attacks in northeastern Nigeria destroyed more than 910 schools and forced at least 1,500 to close. By early 2016, an estimated 952,029 school-age children had fled the violence. They have little or no access to education, likely blighting their future for years to come.
