The Nigerian’s military is continuing with the fight to combat terrorism and would not be deterred to rescue all civilians including the kidnapped Chibok School girls abducted by Islamist militant group Boko Haram, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, director of Defense Information, said Saturday.

Abubakar said the army has not given up efforts to find the missing girls and return them home safely to their parents. This, after dismissing the recently released video allegedly showing proof the abducted Chibok school girls were still alive.

Increased pressure
In an interview with VOA, Abubakar called the video inconclusive and a demonstration of the frustration of the militants due to the army’s continued pressure on them. He said it is uncertain that the latest video released by Boko Haram is genuine, describing it as propaganda tool.
