Marshall Badeh, where are the Chibok 'abductees'?


by Eze Eluchie

It is now well over 5 weeks since Nigeria’s Chief of Defense Staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh, announced to the whole world that the Nigerian Military know exactly where the 'abducted' victims from the secondary school in Chibok are kept, yet the girls are yet to be rescued!

35 days and Air Marshall Badeh, as representative of Nigeria’s Military, has seemingly allowed the continued exploitation and dehumanization of the ‘abducted’ girls to continue? Does this guy actually have inkling as to what he is talking about and talking himself into?

You allow ‘hundreds of girls’ to continue to suffer the anguish of being with terrorists in highly deplorable and abusive environments for over 35 days, and counting, and the military does nothing about it? Presumably being subjected to daily violations, terror and all manners of abuse, and you tell us you are refraining from storming the place of their detention for the sake of the safety of the ‘girls’?

Does this man think the world which has been sensitized by the hyper-activism of the #bringbackourgirls gang are daft and incapable of drawing reasonable conclusions based on facts on ground? That whatsoever he says will be taken as sacrosanct?

Coming on the heels of more of the girls 'escaping' from their terrorist-captors and the repeated denials by the various foreign military units which embedded with the Nigerian military in efforts to resolve the Chibok fiasco, particularly the United States and British military advisers, of any knowledge of the whereabout of the girls, did our top hierarchy goof?

Did Air Marshall Badeh unwittingly draw himself, and the Nigerian Military, into what is perhaps the most heinous efforts at making terrorism an integral part of national politics?
