The Nigerian military says it has deployed 10 search teams in the remote northeastern part of the country, where the girls were seized. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan says he does not believe reports the girls have been taken to neighboring Cameroon.

President Goodluck Jonathan: “The attackers are in a part of the Borno state described as Sambisa Forest, a forest area. And we are working with also the experts that will use the remote sensing to see that wherever they are, we will see. So the best we can say is that they are within the Sambisa area. Yes, I agree there are stories that, oh, they have moved them outside the country, and if they move that number of girls into Cameroon, people will see, so I believe they are still within Nigeria.”
