The US Secretary of State John Kerry pledged US help to find and return the hundreds of Nigerian girls that were kidnapped by militants two weeks ago, reports the Washington Post.
“The kidnapping of hundreds of children by Boko Haram is an unconscionable crime. We will do everything possible to support the Nigerian government to return these young women to their homes and hold the perpetrators to justice.”The announcement came as the Nigerian government outlined plans to shut schools and government offices across the capital Abuja, after two bomb attacks killed dozens last month.
