Over 300 young girls were kidnapped from a boarding school in Nigeria after Isamic extremists from terror sect Boko Haram raided the building.
Boko Haram is considered so extreme that terrorist group Al Qaeda have reportedly severed ties with the group.
Families of the girls fear that their children are now being kept as sex slaves, with former Prime Minister Gordon Brown fearing that the girls may have been dispersed amongst other African countries.
In an interview with Channel 5 news, Bob Geldof said: ‘The problem with media like this, is that everyone wants to do something, but sometimes you just can't. There is a great feeling of frustration.’
‘The U.S., the UK and several EU states, the Russians - they know about counter terrorism.’
Bob's appearance comes just weeks after the passing of his daughter Peaches Geldof. An inquest into her death revealed that heroin had been a contributing factor to her death.
The passionate campaigner channelled his sorrow in an appeal to anyone who had any information or means to bring the girls home to their families.
‘If there is someone out there who could help – maybe some sort of technological bounty I don’t know- but it will not stop the problem, it may find the girls and hopefully they are alive and could be reunited with their parents, but it won’t stop the problem.’
Boko Haram have since reportedly abducted 11 more girls in a Nigerian village.
One of the group’s leaders released a video where he is shown saying: ‘I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah.’
David Cameron has pledged to help the Nigerian government find the kidnapped girls.
