The Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare
has told President Muhammadu Buhari to order security agencies to
locate and rescue the Chibok girls at all costs.
He stated this during the thanksgiving service of the church on the first Sunday of 2016 in Lagos, western Nigeria.
He
said it was alright that the President told the nation the truth about
not knowing the whereabouts of the girls during his maiden Presidential
Media Chat last Wednesday, 29 December.
Pastor Bakare, however, said it was unacceptable to give up on the girls.
He
said a special taskforce should be set up specifically to rescue the
girls wherever they are and if the heads of intelligence agencies fail
to carry out the assignment, they should be sacked.
Pastor Bakare,
who is Buhari’s friend and running mate in the 2011 Presidential
election, said whatever it would take to rescue the girls, the President
must ensure it is done.

Over 200 Chibok schoolgirls were
kidnapped by Boko Haram in April 2014 and have been in the terrorists’
captivity supposedly in Sambisa forest since then.
Their abduction
elicited sustained global outcry and the failure to rescue them was
said to be partly responsible for the defeat of former president,
Goodluck Jonathan,
