Chibok girls: There is better intelligence now - Shehu Garba

While fielding questions from state house correspondents yesterday September 6th, Presidential spokesperson, Shehu Garba said efforts are still ongoing towards the rescue of the Chibok girls and that there are better intelligence gathering in that regard. He appealed to Nigerians not to lose hope regarding the rescue of the girls who were abducted on April 14th 2014.

"What the President has always said is that we
don't even know where the girls are and that we
need to go in there and get the intelligence and
situation of things and then act. Without meaning
to endanger what is left of those girls, you know
that the Sambissa forest is being degraded right
now. The bombing is done in a careful manner
to avoid certain locations of interest as far as
Chibok girls are concerned. Please take note of
what I am saying. I am not saying that the girls
are here or there. But there is better intelligence
now. In fact, Sambissa forest is under
observation 24 hours, in case somebody decides
to move those girls from point A to point B. If
there is any movement that is suspicious, we
have drones, unmanned aircraft that fly around
the place at night and during the day. In the last
few days, you even saw the Chief of Army Staff
leading the troops and I am aware that in the last
few weeks, very interesting pictures have been
sent to the President on the basis of which we
will say to Nigerians, 'don't lose hope on the
Chibok girls. I am not saying they have been
found or that they have been seen. But it is not
yet time for Nigerians to say we have lost them"he said
