The Defence Headquarters has denied reports that over 200 girls
kidnapped from a girls’ college in Chibok, Borno State on 14 April, 2014
by the insurgent group Boko Haram have been released.
Reports on
some news website had indicated that some of the girls allegedly
released were seen being driven to Maimalari Barracks, the headquarters
of 7 Division of Nigerian Army on Tuesday evening.
In a tweet on
Tuesday evening on its Twitter account @DefenceInfoNG, the Defence
Headquarters said “The story circulating in respect of release of the
#Chibok girls is untrue. Buses drove into the barracks but conveyed
other individuals,” while denying the claims of release of some of the
kidnapped girls.
