Ex-UK Prime Minister Claims Jonathon Blocked British Aid with Chibok Girls

The former UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said that Goodluck Jonathon, Nigeria’s ex-President, blocked British attempts to help rescue the Chibok schoolgirls back in 2014.

Mr. Cameron has said he believed Mr. Jonathon was “sleeping at the wheel” whilst the abduction took place.

Cameron wrote that the British “embedded a team of military and intelligence experts in Nigeria, and sent spy planes and Tornadoes with thermal imaging to search for the missing girls.  And, amazingly, from the skies above a forest three times the size of Wales, we managed to locate some of them.

But Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan, seemed to be asleep at the wheel.  When he eventually made a statement, it was to accuse the campaigners of politicising the tragedy.  And absolutely crucially, when we offered to help rescue the girls we had located, he refused”.

The startling revelations published in Cameron’s recent memoir, For the Record, has prompted a fierce response from Mr. Jonathon who has been forced to defend his actions whilst in office.

Jonathon branded Cameron a liar, asking the public to take what he has said with a “grain of salt”.

The former President claims he was in fact the one that had to reach out to Cameron to ask for assistance, and not the other way around.

On 14th April 2014 Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from their school in the town of Chibok, Borno State.  Some of the girls have managed to escape, whilst others have been released, yet a total of 112 still remain unaccounted for to this day.
