We won’t rush to rescue Chibok girls ─Army
The Nigerian Military says it will
not be in a hurry to rescue the secondary schoolgirls in Chibok who were
abducted in April 2014.
The Acting Director, Defence
Information, Military Headquarters, Abuja, Col. Rabe Abubakar, who said
this at a press conference in Lagos on Thursday, noted that while it was
of utmost concern to the military to rescue the girls, the operation
required demanded adequate patience and planning.
Abubakar added that recent efforts by
the military in the rescue of over 200 women and children held captive
by Boko Haram proved that the military was on course in recovering the
girls.
He said, “The issue of the low morale of
the Nigerian military men has now become a thing of the past. The
operation to recover the Chibok girls is alive and still ongoing. We
have continued to make rescue efforts, and we will do all within our
powers to bring the girls.
“However, we will not rush to do this.
It requires diligent intervention and a high-level operation to rescue
the girls. In due time, every captive of Boko Haram will be released. A
lot of achievements have been recorded recently, and this cannot be
disconnected from the high morale of the army.
“We want to assure our citizens that
soon, insurgency will be a thing of the past. But, it is not only about
the military or the North-Eastern region. It is our collective duty to
ensure that there is peace in the country.
“The Nigerian army has put together a
multilateral cooperation. Niger, Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon are
partnering to ensure we win the terrorism war.”
The director, who noted that terror
groups only thrived on information, said the military would forgive and
rehabilitate insurgents who willingly surrendered to the army.
He said, “The Defence Headquarters has
brought out a committee to work out modalities to set up a safe horizon.
This is a place where terrorists who decide to surrender will go. Once
they are there, they will be spared of any molestation and given
treatments conforming to international best practices.
“A terror group can only survive on
information. Information has been identified as one of the key elements
relied on by terrorist groups to perpetrate their heinous crimes. It is
for this reason that we seek collaboration with the media. We are not
sleeping. We are cooperating with the relevant agencies in the fight
against the terrorists.”
