Some Missing Girls Were Sent To UK, USA – Reuben Abati

Goodluck Jonathan’s former spokesperson, Reuben Abati, has claimed that the former administration rescued many of the Chibok schoolgirls that were abducted by Boko Haram terrorists but failed to publicise it due to security reasons.

He made the revelation while interviewing President Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on ARISE TV.

He said, “We rescued many of the girls but the advice from the National Security Adviser at the time (Sambo Dasuki) was that we should not publicise it because of the identity of those girls. I witnessed this on many occasions. Those girls were brought to the president. He met with them.

“In fact, some of them were sent to school in the United States and United Kingdom. There were strict instructions not to publicise it because government thought that the identity of those girls should not be exposed. But l saw you guys making a song and a dance out of the ones you rescued, I then thought maybe we should have done the same thing in our time.

“If you check the records, the SSS, the intelligence agency, if you ask them, they will have the records.”

It’s unclear which girls Abati was referring to but it might be the 57 of the original 276 girls that individually escaped from the terrorists in the early days of the abduction. They are possibly the girls he’s referring to as some non-governmental organisations helped some of those girls to continue their education in the United States of America.
