Nigerian Forces 'Warned About Girls' Kidnap', were warned, failed to respond
Nigerian security forces failed to respond to warnings about Boko Haram's planned abduction of 276 girls, it has been claimed.
Amnesty International said it had verified reports from several credible sources who claimed the military was aware of the impending attack close to four hours before it took place.
The human rights group said a combination of a lack of resources and a reported fear among local forces of engaging with often better-equipped armed groups meant that the military did not act.
Boko Haram militants initially seized more than 300 girls from the boarding school in Chibok in the northern Borno state on April 14. An estimated 53 students managed to escape, but 276 are still missing.
