President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed
confidence that the over 200 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in
their hostel in Chibok, Borno State last year are still alive.
Jonathan, who also said that his chance
of winning the March 28 presidential poll was slimmer than in 2011,
based his position on the fact that terrorists would naturally display
the corpses of the girls if they had been killed.
He spoke while featuring on Kakaaki, a breakfast programme on a private television station, African Independent Television.
Reiterating his promise that the girls
would be rescued alive, Jonathan said, “The good story is that they (
insurgents) have not killed them because when terrorists kill, they
display the corpses to intimidate the people.
“So, these girls are alive. And so, we
will get the girls. Luckily, we are narrowing down the areas of
their(insurgents) control. So we will get them.”
The President stressed that security
forces were wary of storming the main stronghold of Boko Haram because
the insurgents might use the girls as human shields.
