Girls in Chibok, NigeriaThe United States has authorized the deployment of 80 troops to Chad to help Nigeria rescue over 200 schools kidnapped in Chibok by Boko Haram militants. President Barak Obama  is also clamouring for supports from other nations so that the chibok girls can be freed from captivity.
In an official statement by the US White House today, the 80 troops will support the operations of intelligence and surveillance over northern Nigeria. The young girls who are supposed to be writing their school certificate exams were kidnapped by militants of islamist group known as Boko Haram. They are believed to be hiding in Sabisa forest in Maiduguri,Borno state.
Nigeria president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan said the Boko Haram would soon be history. However, Jonathan’s statement was punctured as three bomb explosions killed about 50 people yesterday.
