No US troops deployed anywhere in Nigeria - Defence Headquarters

I said it yesterday and it has been confirmed. The Defence
Headquarters has said that there are no US troops deployed anywhere in
Nigeria, and there has been no arrest or operation by any foreign
military or security troops in the ongoing efforts to rescue the
abducted girls, as its being reported online.

The spokesperson for the Defence Headquarters, Major Gen. Chris
Olukolade, released a statement yesterday clearing the rumours.

"No troop of the American Marines has so far been deployed in any part
of Nigeria as is being circulated in certain media. International
coalition is quite appropriate in handling terrorism being a
trans-border and global crime. The public will be duly briefed on the
areas of collaboration with allied forces in the mission to bring back
our girls as the need arises. There is therefore no need to engage in
misleading speculations while the mission is in progress."He said the
pictures being circulated online were taken from scenes in other
countries and not related to Nigeria in anyway.
