The British government announced today that it would be sending three RAF warplanes to help locate Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram militants.
The fighter bombers will help Nigerian authorities track the movement of militants, a government source told The Times.
The announcement comes as a Northern Nigeria’s riot police training academy was captured by Boko Haram militants today and Nigerian soldiers refused to fight the Boko Haram militants until they received better equipment.
“The Nigerian army is not ready to fight Boko Haram”, a soldier told the BBC.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
