Military lied about rescue of abducted Borno school girls

The military has been accused of lying over the fate of 107 schoolgirls who were abducted Monday night from their hostel at the Government Girls' Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists.

The school principal and state government sources confirmed that they were at a loss as to where the girls the military claimed they had freed from their abductor on Wednesday were.


A state government official said as far as they were concerned, only 14 of the girls who managed to escape from their abductors were returned to the secondary school and have been reunited with their parents.

Other parents and the principal of the college, he said, have been waiting anxiously for the other girls claimed to have been freed by the military, but had not been brought back to the school.

He said it would be very unfortunate if the military was lying as something as sensitive as the whereabouts of over 100 missing girls, adding: "This is something that cannot be hidden and will be very shameful."
