We Can’t Corroborate Nigeria Over Location Of Girls, Says U.S

The United States has said that it did not have independent information to confirm Nigeria’s claims to know the whereabouts of more than 200 abducted schoolgirls and questioned the wisdom of making public such information.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told Reuters that “We don’t have independent information from the United States to support these reports that you referenced,” when asked about chief of defence staff Air Marshal Alex Badeh’s statement that the military knew where the abducted girls were.
“We, as a matter of policy and for the girls’ safety and wellbeing, would not discuss publicly this sort of information regardless,” Psaki said.
