President Jonathan Accepts Israeli Netanyahu offers to Join the Search for Chibok Girls

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday offered to help Nigeria search for hundreds of Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by extremist Islamist group Boko Haram. A statement from the premier’s office said that Netanyahu, currently on an official visit to Japan, made the proposal in a telephone call to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Israel expresses its deep shock at the crime against the girls,” it quoted Netanyahu as saying. “We are prepared to help in locating the girls and to fight the cruel terror which has struck you.”
