Rescue operations no matter the skills involved is always dangerous. This is because the hostages may end up as collateral damages. Its not an easy job and certainly not an option to lose one chibok girl considering their nature as school children.
For this reason any form of rescue plan any where in the world are done with the greatest of care. Any slip off and the operation will be ugly.
News making the rounds about the rescue of one chibok girl sounds like a joyous news to hear considering the fact that this girl together with others were in captivity for two years. But is making the rescue public a right thing to do Personally I think not. Why Because the lives of the other girls in captivity may be put in danger. The military made claims that chibok girl Amina was rescued in Sambisa forest. However, the mannar of the rescue operation sends huge red flags. Civilian JTF made it known that she was spotted deep Sambisa close to cameroonian border in campany of a boko haram member. At that point, she was brought down to the military for debrief. But seeing one escaped chibok girl deep in the forest does not carry much weight about a highly tactical rescue operation because she was not rescued inside boko haram's den. She was just spotted and picked up by vigilantee group. The girl herself made in known that she escaped from boko haram. If that was the case, why did the military made these incident public Hasn't it occurred to them that as soon as boko haram hears about the so call rescue operation they (boko haram terrorist) may be forced to change their location Has the military authorities took into consideration the dangers they might cause the rest of the girls in captivity after exposing Amina to the public This is not tactical. If anything it further compounds the woes of the other hostage in captivity.
Security wise, making public rescue operations when the rest of the hostages are still in captivity is counter productive. The abductors having seen their lost may decide to move their victims to another secure location, or worse (God forbid) kill them. That is why rescue plans are done in an atmosphere of absolute CONFIDENTIALITY! Unless all vitims are rescued, they can't be made public.
A case that I will like the cite here for us to learn the importance of planning and confidentiality in rescue operation is the incident that happened in South America. It happened in Columbia, I think when a former prime minister together with 10 others (I stand to be corrected) were kidnapped by Columbian rebels. We all know how dangerous these South American rebel fighters can be. Consider yourself lucky if you're recued with one member of your body missing. Most times kidnapped victims in that part of the world end up dead.
The Columbian govt knew where the hostages were kept. They knew their location. The problem was getting them all back in one piece alife.
For years the Columbian govt plotted every possible tactics they could think of to free these hostages. The idea came when the Columbian govt decided to infiltrate the rebel's group by means of under cover agents. They figured the victims stand a chance when the rebel group is infiltrated.
The agents selected for this dangerous task were giving the best training possible to make them act, talk, dress in every possible way like a full fledge rebel. Any mistake from one agent and the operation will end in disarster! For years these under cover operatives worked behind the scenes within rebels den perfecting, plotting and waiting patiently for the best possible time to execute their rescue plan.
The day came when these rebels (under cover agents) pretended that they were giving orders to move the kidnapped victims to another secure location. The real rebels in charge of the hostages thought it was just another routine rebel operation. So the kidnapped victims were all rounded up into a truck brought in and moved. As soon as these hostages were in the truck, signal was send to a military chopper to land in a secret location. There the victims were borded unto the helicopter and taking away. Throughout these operation, the hostages never knew they were been rescued. It was when they landed in a Columbian govt military base that it occured to them that their so call rebel transporters were actually under cover agents! They were free at last, having been in captivity for 10 years!
That operation by the Columbian between 2007 and 2008 was perharps the best rescue operation organised in the history of the world! Even America at that time wanted to share in the glory of the superp rescure operation but were quickly rebuffed by the Columbian govt.
The above example is not for Nigerian military to do exactly as the Columbian govt did, but for them to understand that rescue operations anywhere in the world are done in complete confidentiality.
Making Chibok girl rescue public with others still in captivity is security wise untactical.

when you have an 'OLODO' as a president, expect the worst

Lolz, you think the Nigerian army doesnt know how to do that? That is how you will know that the whole tin is a big fat lie... Only a compound and hopelessly stupid person will believe d chibok nonsense.... cant u see everytin doesnt add up ni....... haha

I'm not a military man. I don't need their intelligence. I need results - in this case, BBOGs

Mchweew... Writeups like this is just an insult to our military.

The girls should be released.

Please who was rescued? Amina abi na Aisha or is it Mbalala?
APC is seriously writing script for Buhari‘s 1year in office.
Before May 29th, ARMY WOULD HAVE RESCUED OVER 100girls.
Just watch them decieve us.

As it is now with the other two chibok girls recue made public, chances of freeing the others still in captivity have been jeapadized - that is if the chibok girls were actually kidnap because the whole rescue thing is becoming like a fairy tale. Information coming to us concerning the so call chibok girls rescue does not makes sence.

There's a possibility that the whole thing might have been planned. Who knows the girls might be some where just waiting to be released one by one. That was why I wrote this from another angle assuming the kidnap actually took place. If indeed chibok girls were kidnapped, what the military authorities are doing defys military logic.

That was why I wrote this piece to look at it from another angle. Making public rescue of highly publicized kipnapped victims with others still in captivity defies security logic.
Lets wait and see what happens next.

Take a look at this story.

I beg to disagree
1- boko Haram have not killed them in two years, there are not going to harm them more than they have done
2-if they move there are more chances that they will be caught, maybe NA really wants them to move
3-announcing is good, send fears to boko haram camp, fear brings panic, panic errors.
So it's just the way you want to see things

Yes, but they killed other school students like them. You can't predict what they will do next.
