The United States and British governments knew where at
least 80 of the Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram were
but failed to launch a rescue mission, it has been revealed.
Boko Haram insurgents stormed a secondary boarding
school in the remote town of Chibok in Borno State, in April
2014, and seized 276 girls who were preparing for end-of-
year exams.
Dr Andrew Pocock, the former British High Commissioner to
Nigeria, has now revealed that a large group of the missing
girls were spotted by British and American surveillance
officials shortly after their disappearance, but experts felt
nothing could be done.
He told The Sunday Times that Western governments felt
‘powerless’ to help as any rescue attempt would have been
too high risk - with Boko Haram terrorists using the girls as
human shields.
Dr Pocock said: "A couple of months after the kidnapping,
fly-bys and an American eye in the sky spotted a group of
up to 80 girls in a particular spot in the Sambisa forest,
around a very large tree, called locally the Tree of Life,
along with evidence of vehicular movement and a large
encampment."

He said the girls were there for at least four weeks but
authorities were ‘powerless’ to intervene - and the Nigerian
government did not ask for help anyway.
He said: "A land-based attack would have been seen
coming miles away and the girls killed, an air-based
rescue, such as flying in helicopters or Hercules, would
have required large numbers and meant a significant risk to
the rescuers and even more so to the girls.’
He added: "You might have rescued a few but many would
have been killed. My personal fear was always about the
girls not in that encampment — 80 were there, but 250 were
taken, so the bulk were not there. What would have
happened to them? You were damned if you do and damned
if you don’t."
In an investigation by Christina Lamb for the Sunday Times
Magazine , Dr Pocock said the information was passed to
the Nigerians but they made no request for help.
The magazine has also seen brutal rape videos which show
schoolgirls are being used as sex slaves by the terrorists.
Ms Lamb reports: "They film schoolgirls being raped over
and over again until their scream become silent Os."
Some of the girls, who managed to escape, told Ms Lamb
they were kept in ‘women’s prisons’ where they were taught
about Islam. Boko Haram fighters would visit and pick their
wives.
The girls were powerless to resist as even then the men
would be heavily armed. They were shown videos of people
being raped, tortured and killed as a threat of what would
happen to them if they tried to run away.
Dr Stephen Davis, a former canon at Coventry Cathedral,
who has spent several years attempting to negotiate with
the terror group, said Boko Haram ‘make ISIS look like
playtime’ and said it is ‘beyond belief’ that the authorities
both in Nigeria and the West do not know where the
schoolgirls are.
He insists the locations of the camps where the girls were
being kept were well known and could even be seen on
Google maps.
He added: "How many girls have to be raped and abducted
before the West will do anything?"
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau previously claimed
that all the girls, some of whom were Christian, had
converted to Islam and been ‘married off’.
The mass abduction brought the brutality of the Islamist
insurgency to worldwide attention and prompted the viral
social media campaign #BringBackOurGirls which was
supported by everyone from Michelle Obama to Malala
Yousafzai.
Boko Haram violence has left at least 17,000 dead and
forced more than 2.6 million from their homes since 2009.
The Global Terrorism Index ranks the group as the word’s
deadliest terror organisation.
The group, now officially allied to the Islamic State fighters
who control much of Iraq and Syria, has responded with
suicide bombings and hit and run attacks against civilians.

Why telling us this now... I know you guys can not do anything then unless you are permitted by the Nigerian government, when you Guys saw them did you tell GEJ? the then administration made an expensive mistake when they refused to belief that Students where kidnapped, that 2 weeks gap was a big blow to the reuniting of those wards.
The opposition on there own side was something else they made the Govt doubt everything they say, but the chunk off the blame goes to GEJ.
