Following confirmation of reports that some of the girls
were yet to be accounted for, the NAF had deployed some ISR platforms
and helicopters to search for and possibly locate the missing girls as
well as the rogue Boko Haram Terrorists.
Although these search operations were conducted in a covert
manner, for obvious reasons, the efforts did not yield the desired
results.
Accordingly, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal
Sadique Abubakar, directed the immediate deployment of additional air
assets and NAF personnel to the Northeast with the sole mission of
conducting day and night searches for the missing girls. It is
noteworthy that the renewed efforts at locating the girls are being
conducted in close liaison with other surface security forces.
A statement issued on Sunday by Air Vice Marshal Olatokunbo Adesanya, Director of Public Relations and Information, said:
"While the NAF will spare no efforts at possibly locating the girls via its air operations, it also seizes this opportunity to call on anyone, especially the locals, who might have any useful information that could lead to the location of the girls to bring such information forward to NAF authorities through any of the following GSM numbers: 08122557720, 08035733438, ?08172843484? or ?08058419128. Such useful information could also be forwarded to other relevant security agencies."
