Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, claims that the country's military had found the location of more than 200 missing Chibok schoolgirls

Earlier at least 7 countries agreed to send experts and troops to Nigeria to assist in the search for the students, among them are USA, UK, France, China, Canada, Iran and Israel.

Following claims by Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, that the country's military had found the location of more than 200 missing schoolgirls, the British soldiers were send to join the local forces in Nigeria to help rescue the girls.

According to British media, the UK government said they are determined to give President Goodluck Jonathan all the help his country needs at this time. Although Badeh claims that they know the girl's whereabouts no military attack is planned as they don't want to provoke the girls' killing.

    He said: "The good news for the girls is that we know where they are but we cannot tell you, we cannot come and tell you military secrets here. Just leave us alone, we are working, we would get the girls back."

British forces are looking at sending more troops to Western Nigeria to assist and train Nigerian forces. Nevertheless the number of troops was not specified.
