Please the UK reps only denied that the RAF was over Nigeria over a couple of months and located the girls. They didn't deny that Jonathan refused help. Please people should learn to read between the lines. Its very normal to deny that they had aircraft over Nigeria because that will be a breach of our Airspace. Commonsense!!!

This APC lead government has failed in their promise to bring back the chibok girls, now they are trying to shift the blame. Its obvious they have run out of ideas.
They should just forget about their propaganda and let the acting president do a better job. the man seems to have direction, at least his body language says so.

Nice try.
Show us how he supervised any looting apart from the FAKE newspaper stories that have not led to any conviction. Is that not true for Dasuki who gave Buhari $3 million and they are afraid to try him in public?

I am amazed how of many of us reason. We have lost our morals and courtesy. So quick to judge and draw conclusion on paper without verifying the source of information. Condemn people before they are tried and convicted of any crime accused of. It if really sickening. Try and get a life for yourself and do well to leave a legacy.

The British High Commission in Abuja has debunked a report by London-based Observer newspaper, which reported at the weekend that the government of President Goodluck Jonathan rejected the offer by the British Royal Armed Force (RAF) to help rescue over 200 Chibok schoolgirls, when they were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014.



In response to enquiries by THISDAY’s sister broadcast station, Arise News Network, the British High Commission on Tuesday said the allegation that the RAF was over the area for a number of months and actually located the girls within weeks, but the Nigerian government under former President Jonathan turned down its offer to rescue the girls, “was false”.

Also reinforcing this, the UK’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Security Council and head of the delegation to the Lake Chad region, Ambassador Mathew Rycroft, dismissed the allegation when the question was put forward to him during a press briefing on Monday.

“The British High Commissioner briefed me on that today (Monday) and said that the allegations are not true,” Rycroft said.
When pressed for further clarifications by Arise TV, he directed all enquiries to the British High Commissioner to Nigeria.

However, the British High Commission, in its statement, said “a more cordial, collaborative and unified approach between Nigeria and her allies than the reported differences was used”.

The statement added: “UK worked with the US and France to provide a range of military and intelligence support to the Nigerian government in their search (for the Chibok girls), and in fact, a wider effort to address the longer term challenge of terrorism.

“But importantly, we won’t comment on specific additional details, which is a matter for the Nigerian government and the military.”

Jonathan, in reaction to the story, has already dismissed the allegation as patently false.
Speaking on the overall objective of the visit, Rycroft said the Boko Haram crisis was “one of the most neglected crisis and we want to shine a spotlight on that crisis”.

The envoy also urged the global community including the governments of the Lake Chad region to step up and respond to the crisis before it is too late.

“Part of that crisis is terrorism and we stand with the government and people of this region and particularly the government of Nigeria in confronting Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin region.
“The UN Security Council applauds the works of the MNJTF.

“Talking about the UN sending a peacekeeping force: that has not been requested by the government of Nigeria, I am aware. That we can do as a bilateral agreement with the government of Nigeria,” he added.
Also, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, Ambassador Edward Kalom, said that the magnitude of the crisis in Nigeria was of global concern.

Kalom said that UN had mapped out strategies to reach 6.9 million of the most affected internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees in the North-east, out of the 8.5 million that need humanitarian assistance before the 2019 general election.

He said: “We are talking about 14 million people that are affected by the Boko Haram crisis in North-east Nigeria and about 8.5 million of these people need urgent humanitarian assistance.

“And the UN has prepared a 2017 humanitarian plan to reach about 6.9 million of the most affected people in North-east Nigeria and I want to repeat that we have a timeline of 18 months to address the serious humanitarian situation in the region.

“This is because after 18 months, the government of Nigeria will be busy with elections. And elections in this clime may affect how we address the humanitarian crisis.

“And in this regard, we congratulate the government of Nigeria and Cameroun for signing the tripartite agreement with the UNHCR last week.”

ok

I think the joke is on you who cannot comprehend simple English. I intentionally highlighted were they denied it because I don't know if you have the capacity to see that by yourself. If they didn't deny it, what are they saying here:

You're actually the one with the comprehension issue. That statement was made in diplomatic parlance. If the first statement is wrong, the second is implicitly wrong. If the RAF didn't have any jets flying over Nigeria and locating the girls in the first place, why would they have to contact Jonathan to assist in rescuing the girls. Simple. Implicit denial! That's what the Ambassador and the High commissioner said. I don't expect charlatans like you to even have the slightest clue of what exactly is going on. Its way above your intellectual pay grade.

I think you're daft and clueless! So in your warped mind France, US and the UK military can come into Nigeria without being invited by the Nigerian government? For your information, it was the Nigerian govt who invited them to provide intelligence and help in rescuing the girls. So if it was the Nigerian govt that invited them to help in rescuing the girls, how will the same Nigerian govt deny them the opportunity to rescue the girls when they discovered them? grin grin grin Mr man just run along, you lack common sense!
