Nigeria

The Army rejected the accusation that it had four hours’ warning before Boko Haram’s abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in Borno on April 14. President Jonathan said he thinks the girls are still in Nigeria and have not been moved to Cameroon. Experts from the US and the UK have arrived in Nigeria to help recover the kidnapped schoolgirls. Jonathan claimed that the planners of the two Nyana bombings have been arrested and are assisting authorities find their financiers. US Marines helping the Nigerian government in its efforts against Boko Haram reportedly arrested two suspected militants in Benue state. Police denied rumors of Boko Haram activity in Lagos; the US warned last week of a possible Boko Haram attack on Lagos hotels.
