Sunday Dare, the media aide to the President, has stated that although military efforts might effectively clear terrorist-held forest areas, the government is primarily focused on rescuing the abducted schoolchildren safely.
In an interview on Arise TV, Dare noted that security agencies are making challenging decisions regarding their operations, underscoring that the well-being of the kidnapped children takes precedence over aggressive military actions.

He mentioned, ‘While it might be simpler to clear the forest through military means, the children’s lives come first, which means we face difficult choices. Our teams are working both in the air and on the ground to ensure their safe return as soon as possible.’
Dare emphasized that coordinated efforts are underway, with intensified actions aimed at securing the victims’ release shortly and careful handling due to the presence of civilians in affected areas.
