Jonathan stated this on Thursday, March 5, during an interview on “Kaakaki”, a programme on Africa Independent Television (AIT).
“They are still alive because when terrorists kill they display,” the President added referring to terrorist group, Boko Haram, which is believed to have taken the girls.
“We can't just move in with artilleries and clear the place. Because they may use them as shields so we are working with the global best practices,” Jonathan responded when asked why the girls’ hadn’t been rescued.
