"No troop of the American Marines has so far been
deployed in any part of Nigeria as is being circulated in certain media.
International coalition is quite appropriate in handling terrorism being a
trans-border and global crime. The public will be duly briefed on the areas of
collaboration with allied forces in the mission to bring back our girls as the
need arises. There is therefore no need to engage in misleading speculations
while the mission is in progress."
He said said the pictures being circulated online were taken
from scenes in other countries and not related to Nigeria in anyway.
