An explanation as to how Boko Haram members effortlessly returned the schoolgirls kidnapped from their school in the Dapchi community in Yobe state on Wednesday, March 21st without any military interference, has been given by the Nigerian military.
Recall Nigerians have been asking how it is possible the terrorists returned the girls without interference from the military, a question that has finally been answered.
Spokesperson of the Defence Headquarters, Brig. Gen. John Agim, in an interview with Channels TV said negotiations with Boko Haram for the safe return of the girls entailed military to stand down.
”The issue is that at the time the government was doing the negotiations, the government was under pressure to see that the girls were returned. So, the Boko Haram members said they will drop the girls in their community. At that time, the government could not have said no we don’t want you to return the girls because it may either delay the process or they will refuse. So, they allowed them to bring the girls” he said
