Chibok: We are still reviewing video content – FG

The Federal Government on Monday said it is still reviewing the content of the video released by the Boko Haram sect on Monday.

At a briefing in Abuja on the released video, the Director -General of the National Orientation Agency, Mike Omeri, ruled out the option of negotiation with the sect for now.

He debunked the rumours being peddled in some parts of the media that the federal government has started negotiation with the sect.

Omeri, who spoke alongside heads of various security agencies said the government is considering all options to rescue the girls and unite them with their parents.

The DG said the issue of negotiation with the sect is not being considered for now.

“All options are on the table and open, we are interacting with the military and intelligent experts who are already on surveillance in the North Eastern part of the country. We will adopt all available options to get the girls out, but we will not negotiate with the sect.

While speaking on countries that have so far joined in the rescue mission, Omeri said more countries are set to offer help to Nigeria.

“The United States and the United Kingdom have already sent in their security personnel but we will not hesitate to seek help from other countries if there is need for such,” he stated.
On the operational measures, Omeri said the government will not reveal the operational measures as it will amount to giving information to the enemy.
