He dismissed the claim pointing out that “Federal Government is working assiduously round the clock to ensure that the girls and others return home.”

The minister in a statement by the Acting Director Public Relations Ministry of Defence (MOD) Attari Hope expressed confidence that the joint security task forces working round the clock would get the students rescued.
