The United Kingdom has kicked against any plan by Nigeria to negotiate with Boko Haram over the kidnapped schoolgirls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.
The over 200 pupils were kidnapped in the night and their hostels burnt before being transported in trucks to the Sambisa forest stronghold of Boko Haram. Over 50 of the schoolgirls escaped from the sect and there have been reports that some of the pupils have been seen being moved out of Nigeria.
Other reports have said the girls were seen in the northern parts of the Central African Republic where an Islamic militia, Seleka, holds sway.
