UK to assist search for abducted Nigerian schoolgirls

The UK today pledged to send a small team of experts to Nigeria to aid the search for over 200 abducted schoolgirls.

The British Prime Minister David Cameron, who spoke to Nigeria’s president, Wendesday, condemned the act as ‘pure evil.’

The experts who will be on the ground within a few days will provide planning and advice on co-ordination to Nigerian authorities, reports the BBC.

Earlier this week, Boko Haram’s leader claimed responsibility for the abduction of the school children.
