SUMMARY OF COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF MISSING STUDENTS

The recent abduction of schoolgirls at the Government Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe state may not have happened without the notice of the Nigerian Army.

A document obtained by Sahara Reporters indicated that the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) was notified by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) of plans by Boko Haram militants to carry out a massive attack in February 2018.

The confidential memo dated February 6, 2018, and titled "Plans By BHT To Carry Out Massive Attacks In Maiduguri And Damaturu" was signed by Brigadier-General E.A Adeniyi.

The military, however, disregarded the instruction to stay on high alert, as troops were withdrawn from Dapchi in Yobe state, where over 100 schoolgirls were kidnapped.

Deputy Director, Public Relations, the Theatre Command, Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu in a statement, said the military should not be blamed for the latest round of horror, as troops handed a peaceful and calm situation to the Police.

However, the Nigerian police have denied the claim, stating there was not proper handing-over done to their men. The Commissioner of Police, Sumonu Abdulmaliki, said the military never handed over Dapchi town to the Police.

In a personally signed statement, Abdulmaliki explained that Yobe State remains a security emergency being monitored by security agencies.
