The Royal Air Force of Britain has concluded plans to send three fighter jets to help in searching for more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State.

The British government said that the jets would help the Nigerian authorities in tracking the movements of the insurgents in the Sambissa Forest where the girls are believed to be held depending on a nearby nation allowing the British government to use its runway.

Meanwhile  Ministry of Defence spokesman said the United Kingdom continues to work with the United States and France as well as Nigeria’s neighbours and international partners to provide assistance to the Nigerian government.
