Don't expect Chibok Girls now but we will bring them ALIVE-Military

 

I'm very optimistic that our Military are capable of ending this war against the Boko haram insurgent provided there is no secret agenda, as it is now is like the cloud is getting clearer as the military has been making effort to restore their strength and also removing the shaft among them. In their role in the #BringBackOurGirls the Nigeria military is ready to conquer the insurgent as brave steps has been taken to rescue the Girls ALIVE.

 The Chief of Defence Staff Air Marshal Alex Badeh assured that the military had the capacity to bring back the girls alive and therefore advised that it should be allowed to do its work.

He said, “We want our girls back; our military can do it, but where they are held, we cannot go with force.

“If we go with force, what will happen? they will kill them . So nobody should come and say the Nigerian military does not know what it is doing. We know what we are doing; we can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back. So we are working.

“The good news for the girls is that we know where they are but we cannot tell you military secrets here. Just leave us alone; we are working and we will get the girls back.”

When prodded by journalists to expatiate on what he meant “that ‘the military would not use force’’ to free the girls, the CDS replied, “That would be telling you our secrets and our strategy. We cannot discuss our strategy in the open.”

He said the military had the capacity to carry out any mission as exemplified in its roles in the restoration of democracy in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Badeh said the insurgence in the North- East was different as it involved the killing of fellow Nigerians, which according to him, was not what the military was happy about.

The CDS stated also that some arms recovered from insurgents showed clearly that some people outside the country were fuelling the violence with the aim of destabilizing Nigeria.

He said, “Some of the arms we have recovered are very alien to the Nigerian Army, which means there are people from outside fuelling this thing.

“That is why when Mr. President said we have al-Qaeda in West Africa, I believe it 100 per cent because I know that people from outside Nigeria are involved in this war.

“They are fighting us; they want to destabilise our country and some people in this country are standing with the forces of darkness. We must salvage our country; we must bring sanity to our country.”
