We Located Chibok Girls But Couldn't Rescue Them : British High Commissioner

The outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Andrew Pocock on the 7th of July made a shocking revelation about the Chibok girls before journalists in Kaduna state while visiting the State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

According to him, the British government located the missing Chibok girls a few months after they were abducted from their school hostel but they couldn't rescue them. Their inability centered around the nature of the operation which would have posed a grave danger to the lives of the girls as they were manned by the abductors.

 “Our ability to return the Chibok girls is very limited. Well, after the abduction for some months it was clear that substantial group of girls were together. It was also clear that they were by no means all of them. It might be a group of 50 or 80; it’s very hard to tell. It presented a terrible dilemma to everybody, attempting to rescue substantial group of girls has two obvious problems; the risk to the attackers and to the girls.”
