I want the families of the girls yet unaccounted for at the Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi to know that no effort will be spared to ensure that all of them are returned safely, and the attackers arrested and made to face justice.
The entire country stands as one with the families, and with the government and people of Yobe State. This is a national disaster. We are sorry that it happened; we share your pain. Let me assure that our gallant armed forces will locate and safely return all the missing girls.
The military has since been deployed in response, and we are now sending more troops and surveillance aircraft to keep an eye on all movements in the entire territory on a 24-hour basis.
Over 90 girls were abducted from their school by the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram. At first, news broke out that the girls have been rescued sending the town in Yobe into a frenzy of joy. However, the joy turned sour when the state governor, Ibrahim Gaidam addressed the families of the victims before a large crowd when he visited the town. Reports have it that he lost control of the crowd the moment he mentioned that the families shouldn’t seize praying for the return of the girls. The crowd became furious as they discovered that they were earlier lied to by the state government who had released a press statement which stated the rescue. The governor’s convoy was pelted with stones by the angry crowd.
