While fielding questions from newsmen after today's National Security
Council meeting held at the Presidential Villa, the Director General
of the Department of State Security, DSS, Mr Ita Ekpeyong said that
security forces know where precisely the kidnapped Chibok girls are
but are being very careful in their rescue efforts so as not to
endanger their lives.

"The issue of the Chibok girls, government is making efforts. We know
where they are but we don't want to endanger their lives, that is the
truth. We want to take it gradually and release them at the
appropriate time. We know where they are" he said

Mr Ekpeyong also stated that the Federal Government has directed all
the state government planning to register non-indigines in their state
by issuing them means of Identification, to stop forthwith and warned
military officers not to work with states that may want to go ahead
with the process.
