Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, in a
meeting this weekend, ruled out any specific
date for the release of abducted Chibok girls but
noted that their release was priority on
government agenda.
“The true picture in Nigeria as far as
insurgency in the North-East is concerned is
that the war on Nigeria by the terrorists is
still on. And, of course, from the onset of
this crisis, government had indicated
tackling the insurgency on three fronts:
point of engagement, point of consultation
and point of containment. And so,
consultations definitely will continue: And
don’t forget that because of the prolonged
nature of the insurgency, a lot of activities
are going on, both at the level of
government and the level of the insurgents.
"So now, the insurgents are divided into
various sectors especially with the death of
their leader, Shekau. (But I thought Shekau
resurfaced in a video just recently?
someone asked) the minister ignore and
continued
"However, at the moment, our foreign
partners and collaborators are helping and
collaborating with Nigeria to arrive at a
peaceful resolution of the matter and to
bring the insurgency to an end. And one of
the issues on the table in arriving to an end
to the crisis is the release of the Chibok
girls. It is one issue at stake as part of the
resolution of the crisis.But for anybody to
put a date on the release of the Chibok
girls, that person is just being speculative,
but we will certainly get there soon”.
