The parents of the students of Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, Bursari Local Government Area of Yobe State have said 105 of their children are still missing following an attack on the school by Boko Haram insurgents.
The girls, who were said to have run into the bush during the attack, have not returned as at Friday, leading to the conclusion they have been abducted by the Boko Haram insurgents.
The Chairman of the parents support group on the missing girls, Bashir Manzo, said on Friday: “Our first step was to compile a comprehensive list of all the missing girls.
“So far, we have compiled the names of 105.”
Manzo, whose 16-year-old daughter, Fatima, is among the missing, said the schoolgirls’ mothers and fathers would seek a meeting with the Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim Gaidam.
He said: “We believe he (Gaidam) was misinformed (about the rescue of 48 of the girls).
“The school authorities from the beginning denied and kept denying that our daughters were taken.
“We will see the governor and seek his help, as well as anyone who matters that can in one way or another assist in ensuring the freedom of our girls.”
