US-Assisted Rescue Plan for Chibok Girls Aborted Due to Military Leak - Akinyemi Reveals

Akinyemi disclosed that a US-assisted rescue operation for the abducted Chibok schoolgirls in 2014 was called off due to a suspected leak within the Nigerian military. The plan, initiated during the Jonathan administration, was a joint effort between American forces and Nigerian troops.

The mission was abruptly aborted when reconnaissance aircraft discovered Boko Haram fighters at a camp wearing masks, indicating a security breach. Akinyemi emphasized the need for a thorough cleansing of the Nigerian military to identify and remove sympathizers of Boko Haram and ISWAP.

The abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls marked a significant turning point in Nigeria's fight against terrorism.
