While, Nigerian Air Force is doing everything possible to locate and rescue Chibok girls, one of the victims of the deadly Boko Haram sect has issued a stern warning to the federal government concerning the missing girls.
According to the woman, bringing back Chibok girls into the country may spell doom for Nigeria’s anti-terrorism stance.
“Young girls involved in suicide attacks in the last two years till date were the Chibok girls, it will be a waste of time for anyone to be talking of rescuing Chibok girls,” she noted.
