The Defence Headquarters has claimed that there are no US
troops deployed anywhere in Nigeria, and there has been no
arrest or operation by any foreign military or security troops in
the ongoing efforts to rescue the abducted girls, as its being
reported online.
According to LIB, The spokesperson for the Defence
Headquarters, Major Gen. Chris Olukolade, released a
statement yesterday clearing the rumours.
"No troop of the American Marines has so far been deployed in
any part of Nigeria as is being circulated in certain media.
International coalition is quite appropriate in handling terrorism
being a trans-border and global crime. The public will be duly
briefed on the areas of collaboration with allied forces in the
mission to bring back our girls as the need arises. There is
therefore no need to engage in misleading speculations while
the mission is in progress."
He said said the pictures being circulated online were taken
from scenes in other countries and not related to Nigeria in
anyway.
