The number of the Dapchi schoolgirls who were released on Wednesday has increased from 76 to 101, with the documentation of more of the freed girls by the security agencies, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister said the number could still increase, as the documentation of the freed girls is ongoing.
He said the release of the schoolgirls is the outcome of the directive by President Muhammadu Buhari to all security agencies to do everything possible to secure the release of the 110 Dapchi schoolgirls, who were abducted 19 Feb. 2018.
The Minister said the girls were released around 3 a.m. through back-channel efforts and with the help of some friends of the country, and that it was unconditional.
”For the release to work, the government had a clear understanding that violence and confrontation would not be the way out as it could endanger the lives of the girls, hence a non-violent approach was the
preferred option.
”Within the period when the girls were being brought back, operational pause was observed in certain areas to ensure free passage and also that lives were not lost,” he said.
Meanwhile, a Federal Government Delegation comprising Ministers of Information and Culture; Interior as well as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs are on their way to Maiduguri to meet with the freed girls.
THE ISSUE OF DAPCHI GIRLS’ ABDUCTION AND RETURN.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, wonder s cannot cease to happen. I thought Nigeria and book haram cannot amaze me again but I had thought wrong. What’s all these about the so-called abduction and return? For God’s sake who is deceiving who? First the girls were taken in convoys of buses, trucks and trailer. No one saw them come, no one saw them go. Where were all the security road blocks and check-points therein? The girls were screaming as they were taken away. No body along that route saw anything and reported nothing. Haba. Believe this you will believe anything. Fake –upon- fake- upon- fake stories. It seems an arranged thing from the beginning. Who is deceiving who? Then book haram returned them. No trace at all again. No one saw anything and reported nothing. Are we all fools and daft. Not all of them came back. Too bad. And the fake people in the FEC meeting were stumbling over each other rejoicing. Over what please. Remember the shepherd with 100 sheep and lost one, but left the 99 in search of that missing one sheep. Check out Luke Chapter 15 v.1-7 for more clarification. Shame on all of us especially those who made us look like this. Please people should stop making Nigerians look stupid , even though Nigerians call NIGERIA an illegitimate child or nation. Of course our name was given to us in the heat of conjugal prostitution, were we not baptized by Flora Shaw the girlfriend of Lord Lugard, in the heat of their bedroom acrobatics and under the bed sheet sweet lies. No wonder Nigeria looks fake and prostitution.
