Again, Jonathan has been accused of obstructing rescue of Chibok Girls

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has been accused of gross negligence and obstruction of efforts toward the rescue of abducted Chibok girls by Boko Haram Insurgents back in 2014.



The former President according to Ex-British Prime Minister David Cameron, had prevented British forces from engaging in rescue efforts as he seemed to see the entire incident as cheap politics.

Former Prime Minister David Cameron made the revelation in his recently published memoir, ‘For the Record’. Cameron, who was in office at the time of the abduction, said British troops traced the location of some of the victims and offered to help but Jonathan refused, according to TheCable.




He wrote, “In early 2014, a group of fighters entered Government Secondary School in the village of Chibok, seizing 276 teenage girls.


“They were taken to camps deep in the forest. The Christians among them were forced to convert to Islam. Many were sold as slaves, entering the same endless violent nightmare the Yazidi women suffered.

“As ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ campaign spread across the world, we embedded a team of military and intelligence experts in Nigeria, and sent spy planes and tornadoes with thermal imaging to search for the missing girls. And, amazingly, from the skies above a forest three times the size of Wales, we managed to locate some of them.



“But Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan, seemed to be asleep at the wheel. When he eventually made a statement, it was to accuse the campaigners of politicising the tragedy. And absolutely crucially, when we offered to help rescue the girls we had located, he refused.”
