Sunday evening It was gathered that special security teams from the police, the Department of State Service and the Army have been deployed to Kaduna to rescue the kidnap victims.
According to a police source, security services ‘have a general idea of where the kidnap victims are being held’ but are wary of carrying out any rescue operation because the victims are being used as a human shield by their abductors.
However, It was gathered that elite teams from the three security services, the Army, the DSS and the Police have been deployed to Kaduna for the operation to release the kidnapped girls.
“We are mounting pressure on the kidnappers but we have to be careful not to put the lives of the kidnapped victims in jeopardy,” source told Vanguard.
It would be recalled that the abductors of the schoolgirls and their teachers made contacts with the school last week and made a ransom demand of N50million.
The school has been closed down already and the Kaduna state government in conjunction with security agencies have advised schools in the state to emplace additional security measures to safeguard the lives of their students.
