The Acting Director, Defence Information, Military Headquarters,
Abuja, Col. Rabe Abubakar, who said this at a press conference in Lagos
on Thursday, noted that while it was of utmost concern to the military
to rescue the girls, the operation required demanded adequate patience
and planning.
Abubakar added that recent efforts by the military in the rescue of
over 200 women and children held captive by Boko Haram proved that the
military was on course in recovering the girls.
He said, “The issue of the low morale of the Nigerian military men
has now become a thing of the past. The operation to recover the Chibok
girls is alive and still ongoing. We have continued to make rescue
efforts, and we will do all within our powers to bring the girls.
“However, we will not rush to do this. It requires diligent
intervention and a high-level operation to rescue the girls. In due
time, every captive of Boko Haram will be released. A lot of
achievements have been recorded recently, and this cannot be
disconnected from the high morale of the army.
“We want to assure our citizens that soon, insurgency will be a thing
of the past. But, it is not only about the military or the
North-Eastern region. It is our collective duty to ensure that there is
peace in the country.
