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”.
