The Federal Government is doing everything possible to
secure the release of the Chibok girls and put an end to the horrible saga of
their abduction.
Reacting to the latest video of some of the girls, the
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement
in Abuja on Sunday that the government is in touch with those purportedly
behind the video.
''We are on top of the situation. But we are being extremely
careful because the situation has been compounded by the split in the
leadership of Boko Haram. We are also being guided by the need to ensure the
safety of the girls.
''Since this is not the first time we have been contacted
over the issue, we want to be doubly sure that those we are in touch with are
who they claim to be,'' he said.
Alhaji Mohammed expressed the hope that the latest
development will signal the beginning of the end of the nightmare to which the
girls, their families and indeed all Nigerians have been subjected since the
unfortunate abduction.
