111 Yobe schoolgirls went missing following Monday’s attack by Boko Haram insurgents on Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi.

Recall that the Minister of Defence Mansur Dan Ali will be leading the delegation to Yobe to get first hand information about the situation.

“Mr. President has directed military and other security agencies to take immediate charge and control of Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, and informed him of developments,” the minister said.

“He has released a delegation led by the Minister of defence to Dapchi, to get first hand information as to what is happening.

“Others in the delegation are Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Information.

“That is precisely why Mr. President is in direct contact with military and police and as soon as we get any information we will let you know.”
