 John Agim, defence spokesman, says the report that only 15 of the 113 missing Chibok schoolgirls are alive is meant to discourage the government.


Ahmad Salkida, a journalist known to have access to access to the leadership of Boko Haram sect, had said majority of the girls had died in captivity.

Salkida said those still alive had been married off. He challenged the government to speak the truth.

“I regret to state here that only 15 out of the 113 #Chibokgirls are alive today, based on my investigations in the last three months,” Salkida wrote on Twitter.

Salkida, who said he had spent 13 years of his career researching and reporting the insurgency, added that his ” knowledge of this crisis can’t be dismissed.”

But responding to inquiries, Agim said it is not the first time that the girls were said to have been killed or married off.

He added that after such claims, the government went ahead to secure the release of some of them.
