As the schoolgirls kidnapped from Chibok in Borno spend their 34th day in captivity, international efforts towards ensuring their rescue have continued to intensify.
A British spy plane is said to have departed for West Africa yesterday to aid surveillance efforts in finding the over 200 missing girls.
The Sentinel reconnaissance aircraft, a high-tech surveillance jet will join the aircraft already released by the United States of America to search for the girls.
The British Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond said:
“The kidnap of these girls is a reprehensible act which has drawn international condemnation.
“I am pleased that Britain’s armed forces have been able to support the international search operation and provide the specialist skills which could help the Nigerians locate
their missing children.”
