An adviser says Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan met through the
night with security, school and state officials and has issued a new
directive that “everything must be done” to free the 276 girls kidnapped
by Islamic extremists.
Presidential adviser Reuben Abati told reporters the meeting went
into the early hours of Sunday and for the first time brought together
all stakeholders. It included security service chiefs, officials from
the affected Borno state and Chibok town and the principal of the school
where the victims were kidnapped.
Abati said the president “has given a very clear directive that
everything must be done to ensure that this girl must be brought back to
safety.”
Nigeria’s government and military have been deeply embarrassed by the failure to rescue the girls abducted April 15
