Nigeria's terrorists, Boko Haram returns 105 Dapchi girls alive

A total of 105 schoolgirls have been returned to reunite with their families by Nigeria's deadly terrorists,Boko Haram on March 21, 2018.

Local media reports that the terrorists returned the schoolgirls kidnapped from the Government Girls Secondary School in Yobe State after being in captive for one month and two days.

It was also reported that five of the girls - whose identities are yet to be ascertained - were dead.

The terrorists reportedly besieged the Dapchi community with the girls in nine different vehicles just the same way they were abducted on February 19, 2018.

On Tuesday, March 20, 2018, the Nigeria’s director of Amnesty International, Osai Ojigho, said the Nigeria government and security agencies have failed in their duty to protect the people of the country.

Amnesty blamed the Nigerian security agencies - military and police - for ignoring the calls and warnings ahead of the attack on Dapchi that led to the abduction of 110 schoolgirls in Yobe state.

Buhari insists on negotiating with terrorists

While President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is yet to rescue all the 276 girls abducted in Chibok in 2014, the kidnap of the 110 schoolgirls in Dapchi, Yobe state may pose as a thorn in his flesh as the 2019 elections draws closer.

However, the President during a meeting with sacked US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, said he will rather negotiate with the abductors of the girls so as to minimise and avoid losing more lives.

During his visit to Dapchi, President Buhari had also said neither his administration nor the Nigerian security agencies will rest till the abducted Nigerian schoolgirls are all rescued and reunited with their parents and families.
