Co-Convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Group, BBOG, Oby Ezekwesili, has reacted to reports of the alleged missing 94 girls from the Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School in Dapchi, Yobe state after Boko Haram attacked the school on Monday, February 19th.
It was reported that the sect members stormed the school in the night, shooting sporadically into the air.
The teachers and students, over 700 of them in the boarding school, were said to have escaped before the sect members could get to them.
However, when parents and teachers conducted a headcount yesterday, it was discovered that 94 of the girls were missing. While the state police command maintains there is no case of abduction, the school authorities and parents say 94 of their girls were missing.
Reacting, Ezekwesili via her Twitter handle called on the Federal Government to tell Nigerians the truth regarding the girls and the attack.
She wrote, “God forbids that .@AsoRock @MBuhari & @HQNigerianArmy continue to keep the Public in suspense any further on what really happened two days ago at the Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School, Dapchi Yobe State following a reported Boko Haram attack.
“God forbids that NOTHING was at all learned in all these years #ChibokGirls on how FG should transparently engage the Public on matters like the allegations flying about on Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School, Dapchi Yobe State after a Boko Haram attack.
“God forbids that we are indeed missing daughters who went to school once again. God forbids that anything resembling a re-enactment of the torture of the nearly four years of our #ChibokGirlsTragedy has happened to Nigeria. Ah. God forbids THIS EVIL IN OUR LAND a second time.
“All one has done is WAIT ON FG for OFFICIAL STATEMENT since late night Monday that news on Government Girls Science&Technical Secondary School, Dapchi Yobe State Boko Haram attack filtered into the public space. Sadly, as happened in the #ChibokGirlsTragedy, FG is OMINOUSLY MUM.
“Let me ask President .@MBuhari ‘s @AsoRock , “Are you at all AWARE that it is being alleged that 94 daughters of Nigeria were abducted from the Boarding School -Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School, Dapchi Yobe State after a Boko Haram attack? WHAT’S THE FACT?
“.@HQNigerianArmy do you have FACTS on the allegations of abduction of 94 daughters of Nigeria from their Boarding School- Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School, Dapchi Yobe State after a Boko Haram attack? Are you in strong pursuit of their abductors if TRUE?
“When #ChibokGirlsTragedy happened on April 14, 2014 what IMPAIRED RESCUE ACTION within first 48 hours for the 219 Girls was then FG shoddy handling on NEWS of the abduction. Like I am doing now, one kept PRODDING their officials & the military for FACTS. Their reaction? SILENCE.
“So, do please join me in asking President @MBuhari .@AsoRock to SPEAK UP on the SAFETY of ALL the GIRLS of Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School, Dapchi Yobe State after a Boko Haram attack on Monday, 19 February 2018. #DapchiYobeGirls.”
