The United States has expressed
skepticism the Chibok schoolgirls held by Boko Haram militants had been located
by the military.
The military had said on
Monday that it had located the missing teenagers, kidnapped mid-April by the
armed militant group.
US State Department spokeswoman,
Jen Psaki, told newsmen that there was no independent information from the
United States to support these reports.
The United States is the
biggest foreign participant in the effort against Boko Haram following the
deployment of about eighty US military personnel to neighboring Chad for
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance,.
Washington has also
deployed surveillance drones, spy planes and about thirty civilian and military
specialists to support Nigeria’s security forces.
