Gen. Abayomi Olonisakin the "Chief of Defence Staff" yesterday said, the military has no report yet on the missing Chibok girls.
But he added that the Nigerian troops were sustaining their battle to effectively end Boko Haram insurgency.
Olonisakin spoke with reporters after addressing officers of the Nigerian Navy at a one-day seminar in Abuja.
He emphasised the Nigerian military’s commitment to end the Boko Haram insurgency, adding that scrutiny and interrogation of females found in various areas have not yielded much.
“So far, we don’t have any report concerning them (Chibok girls), but of course, we have some Boko Haram terrorists, who have surrendered. Among them are women and children.
“We have collection point for their wives and children and we are moving them to areas where we can profile and identify them and ensure that they are not really involved in Boko Haram activities,” he said.
Olonisakin, who was special guest of honour at the Nigerian Navy Research and Development Seminar 2015, stressed the need for citizens’ vigilance and security agencies’ synergy towards surmounting the challenges of insecurity.
Attendees and those represented at the event included service chiefs, heads of parastatals and security agencies as well as some private sector groups.
