British armed forces offered to attempt to rescue nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, but were rebuffed by Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s president at the time, the Observer has learned.

In a mission named Operation Turus, the RAF conducted air reconnaissance over northern Nigeria for several months, following the kidnapping of 276 girls from the town of Chibok in April 2014. “The girls were located in the first few weeks of the RAF mission,” a source involved in Operation Turus told the Observer. “We offered to rescue them, but the Nigerian government declined”
The girls were then tracked by the aircraft as they were dispersed into progressively smaller groups over the following months, the source added.
Chibok is located in Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno state. Today 195 of the girls are still missing. Those who have managed to escape from their kidnappers have told of a life of torture, enslavement, rape, and forced marriages in captivity.

hmmm oga ooo for how many years

Okay...


Nigeria is a sovereign country, which can decide what offer to accept and what level of international interference she will condone.
So even if there were kidnaps and obvious clashes and killings, she can turn down extra-governmental aids.




You see that trash up there, that's what mentally unstable media aides and politicians would tell you, even if it's so clear the situation at hand needed urgent response.

we have a lot of educated southerns who should not go into politics

he shifted away from Western government a very isolated president...



After he realized his mistakes he started begging for help

on the other hand buhari has been travelling seeking international friends now he is the most powerful president in Africa if he pulls off the WTO DG stunt.

I don't believe this half-bake news.

Jonathan didn't believe tje girls were kidnapped in the first place. So why would he accept the offer when to him no girl was kidnapped

The Obama administration and it's Allie's did all they could to remove GEJ, make wuna leave the man to rest.

A man you will never achieve %10 of his dream or that of your father you day have not sense.

Why not make your point without insulting the man.

If you are wise, you will understand the reason of the isolation from Western governents was for the right reasons but Buharis was going about seeking alliances against his country man simply because some people thing they are more Nigerian than some Nigerian
