Nigeria knows the girls’ whereabouts but can’t rescue them

Nigeria’s highest ranking military officer, Chief of Defence Staff Alex Badeh, said on Monday they had located the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram militants. “The good news for the girls is that we know where they are, but we cannot tell you,” Badeh told reporters outside defence headquarters in the capital Abuja after speaking to protesters. However Badeh said they would not use force to free the girls.
