She said “We have seen the girls and the video. The girls are there in Cote D’Ivoire. For now, there are five of them and we spoke to them yesterday and they are safe at the Nigerian Embassy in Cote D’Ivoire.


“As of this morning, arrangements are being made for them to be brought back to the country and we are monitoring the situation to ensure that they are brought back safely and handed over to us.”


While stating that the command has started an investigation on the case Mrs Bai stated that the woman been fingered by the girls as the sponsor had been arrested by police in Kwande LGA.


Bai said, “She (the alleged sponsor) was picked yesterday and is right now with the Nigerian Police in Kwande.


“We are also working with the police to see that we also have an audience with her to see her involvement.
