110 GIRLS ABDUCTED IN DAPCHI, YOBE STATE

On Monday, February 19, 2018, suspected Boko Haram (BH) insurgents invaded Government Girls' Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State, Nigeria, abducting 110 of the 906 student population. It was yet another tragic day for a nation that is yet to recover from a similar incident that took place on April 14, 2014 in Chibok, Borno State. See for example - dayokusa.blogspot.com.ng/2014/05/bringbackourgirls-bbog-boko-haram-bh.html

Sadly, both incidents happened in similar circumstances. Lax security made these wholesale abductions possible. Did we learn any lesson at all from the abduction of the Chibok girls? How did the Dapchi kidnap happen? The Federal Government (FG) has since set up a 12-man committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the abduction. 

Meanwhile, Nigerians hope that the girls would be united with their families soon...
