Colonel Sambo Dasuki, (retd), Nigeria National Security Adviser (NSA) has given an assurance that the Federal Government was making every effort to ensure that the girls along with every other Nigerian abducted by terrorists are rescued.

The NSA who spoke to PRNigeria, a media agency that distributes press releases on behalf of security agencies, also promised that Sambisa Forest, the fortress of Boko Haram terrorists and one of their last remaining camps will be stormed and liberated before the May 29, 2015 presidential hand-over date.

Dasuki spoke on the occasion of one year anniversary of the kidnap of the over 200 girls from Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram militants.

Kashim Shettima, the Governor of Borno State recently told journalists that the missing Chibok girls were being held in the dreaded forest. “Right now, all Boko Haram camps, except Sambisa Forest have been destroyed,” the NSA said.

According to him, the forest would have since been liberated but for the unfavourable weather condition prevailing in the area as all needed reconnaissance activity and necessary deployment of troops have been made for the operation.

“Every movement of the terrorists is being monitored and every necessary detail is being taken care of to rid the country of the last bastion of terrorists infestation,” Dasuki disclosed.

He insisted that government is concerned about the welfare of every single Nigerian including the girls adding “aside the Chibok girls, other Nigerian girls, boys, men and women were abducted by the terrorists and all efforts are being made to rescue them all.”

While appealing for a little more time to complete the routing of terrorists, Dasuki recalled that before elections were postponed in February, over 20 local governments were occupied by Boko Haram and that most Nigerians were pleasantly surprised that so much was achieved against insurgency within six weeks.
While commending President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on the successful conduct of the 2015 round of elections, the security adviser however, noted that nobody pressured the President into conceding defeat in the presidential election.

“President Jonathan had already given his words to all the security and service chiefs before the election that he would abide by the decision of Nigerians. At the meeting, he also told them to perform their duties professionally during the polls.

“While we anticipated that he would congratulate his opponent if the result is announced in favour of opposition candidate, he gratuitously without prompting of anyone conceded defeat to the surprise of all,” the NSA said.

“By that singular gesture he had saved the security agencies and the nation of unnecessary tension and stress in maintaining law and order and curtailing excesses of likely protesters.”

While commending the fairness of media in the coverage of elections, he nevertheless urged them to be conscious of malicious reports being sponsored by vested interest. He denied a report that he was at any polling units during the last governorship election and was never involved in any meeting with judicial officers to truncate any democratic process.

Immediately after the postponement of elections in February this year, Sambo Dasuki had assured Nigerians and international community that all known terrorists’ camps would be destroyed while most of the occupied communities under Boko Haram in three states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe would be liberated to allow for peaceful conduct of elections and collection of more voters cards by the electorates.

“All known Boko Haram camps will be taken out. They won’t be there. They will be dismantled. In addition to the acquisition of more sophisticated armaments and training of our troops in guerrilla warfare the new military co-operation agreed to between Nigeria and its neighbours will prove decisive against Boko Haram.”

Stories for the gods
This government always saying we will. When will dey start telling us we have

We have been hearing reassurances from GEJ's government since....

I thought the NSA and defense headquarter said few weeks ago that Sambisa Forest was combed last month with no traces of Chibok girls.

I believe u,its all in the script of ur movie, u guys placed a fast one on Nigerians but we proved to b smarter wen u claimed to have captured gwoza on the eve of the elections thinking Nigerians were also clueless as ur commander. We can't wait to may 29! #bringbackourgirls now!

The tempo recorded in the fight against insurgency within the 6weeks of the postponement the election has drastically reduced.

Shows it was a strategy by GEJ towards his reelection.

If they have recaptured Gwoza, Bama and the rest, why is Sambisa different?

Clueless statement....one of those that failed in this administration.

I pray xo

Just can't stop laughing at this Dasuki.

I pray its for reall cos we've heard so many promises but none has been real so far
#bringbackourgirls#

A lot of drama has surrounded this chibok issue that you won't really blame anyone for thinking that the whole thing was/is a set-up.

You guys don't need to.
Allow the "miracle President" to do wonders after may 29.

Media & lies. I've not seen anywhere the story says the NSA promises Chibok girls will be rescued before May 29.
The only related parts of the story I see are the following or am I missing something?

The NSA who spoke to PRNigeria, a media agency that distributes press releases on behalf of security agencies, also promised that Sambisa Forest, the fortress of Boko Haram terrorists and one of their last remaining camps will be stormed and liberated before the May 29, 2015 presidential hand-over date.

He insisted that government is concerned about the welfare of every single Nigerian including the girls adding “aside the Chibok girls, other Nigerian girls, boys, men and women were abducted by the terrorists and all efforts are being made to rescue them all.”
