MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — A first visit by President Goodluck Jonathan to the village from which nearly 300 girls were abducted by Boko Haram was abruptly canceled on Friday because of security fears, according to an official in the president’s entourage.
The official said security could not be guaranteed in the village of Chibok, 80 miles from this state capital. The road passes through territory largely controlled by Boko Haram; villages along it bear the traces — burned schools, empty houses — of earlier Boko Haram attacks.
