Insurgency: Generals Storm Maiduguri for Abducted Girls Not fewer than 20 generals are among top intelligence officers who have stormed Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, primarily to rescue the abducted final year female students of the Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS), Chibok, whose kidnapping is still causing disaffection in the polity, even as Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has urged all right thinking Nigerian to rise up against the insurgency. Borno State women had threatened to storm the dreaded Sambisa Forest if the remaining students are not set free; however, the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, has ordered his intelligence officers across all the security agencies to intervene with a view to freeing the girls within a few days. Speaking with our correspondent in Abuja yesterday, a senior military officer disclosed that senior intelligence officers had arrived Maiduguri since Wednesday and were combing everywhere suspected to be the hideout of the insurgents. “It is a pity many critics are not ready to find out what we are doing; they think the CDS and his team are sleeping and doing nothing about the students that were kidnapped on April 15. There is nothing some of them have not said against the military despite all the sacrifices we make on daily basis over the insurgency. “If I may let you know, most of our very senior intelligence officers, including about 30 generals across all the forces and security agencies, have been in Borno State since yesterday (Wednesday) and their primary function is to set those girls free wherever they may be, as ordered by the CDS,” the source said.
