Goodluck Jonathan defends action over Chibok girls

Outgoing Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has been defending his government's actions following the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls by Boko Haram militants a year ago.

Speaking to the BBC, President Jonathan said he suspected the girls were still alive, and being held "in a distant forest".

The abductions sparked global outrage, and although there have been reported sightings, their whereabouts remains unclear.
