Chibok girls: We’ll not relent, says military

The Nigerian Army yesterday said it will not resign or relent its  effort on the fight against terrorism and rescuing of the  abducted Chibok girls.

The Army spokesman, Major General Chris Olukolade, said this yesterday in Abuja during a press briefing.

“Nigerian Army and other security agencies will not resign or relent on our effort in the fight against terrorism and rescuing of the girls. We will continue with  our duty of protecting  the country against any attack because resigning means given up on the war,” Olukolade said.

The co-ordinator of the briefing centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, said it is not in the character of the Nigerian military to resign in the middle of this kind of issue, adding that they have  been known for protecting the country against any attack.

“They are known for bravery, protecting and guiding the country and these they will continue to restore peace and normalcy back to the  country,” Omeri said.

He also announced that the Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs met yesterday with the leadership of the United States interdisciplinary team for assistance to Nigeria.

“It was resolved that subsequent phases of the efforts will feature continuous engagement among the partners while also recognised the need for less  pressure to disclose operational  information as is usually mounted on the Nigerian military,” he said.
