The Nigerian government is vowing to find the nearly 200 girls reportedly abducted by Boko Haram.
The Islamic extremist haven't taken responsibility but most blame them for the kidnapping of 230 teenagers from a school located in Borno state.
Around 40 girls have managed to escape.
A group of security chiefs, states governors, and religious leaders met Friday to discuss finding the others.
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan called the abductions the most pressing security issue facing his country.
