Chibok girls are still alive, President says

President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the missing
Chibok girls are still alive.
Jonathan stated this on Thursday, March 5, during an
interview on “Kaakaki”, a programme on Africa
Independent Television (AIT).
“The good thing is that they've not been killed,” Jonathan
said about the girls who were abducted on April 14, 2014.
“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.
The over 200 girls were taken from the Government Girls
Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State and most of them
are still in captivity.
