Fresh controversies were stirred up on Thursday as Ibrahim Gaidam, governor of Yobe state has declare that none of the missing students of Government Girls Science Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe state has been rescued.

Recall that the girls were abducted when suspected Boko Haram insurgents attacked Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, in Yobe State.

DAILY POST had reported that 48 girls out of 94 missing after Boko Haram attack in the school returned.

Another report from the State Governor’s aide had it that other girls were rescued by the army on Wednesday night at Jilli-Muwarti, a border village between Gaidam in Yobe state and Borno State.

However, Gov Gaidam speaking when he visited the community on Thursday told family members of the students to keep praying that the girls should be found.

Governor Gaidam, who was at the Palace of the district head in Dapchi town to console parents and residents over the unfortunate incident, said there was no established case of abduction of the school girls.

“Until now, we have no certainly that these boys (Boko haram) have taken these girls.

“We should keep praying so that God reveal the whereabouts of the girls.

“We directed the soldiers and security personnel to go anywhere the girls are said to have been seen and find them. I am together with the GOC, Brig-Gen Garba. His men went to places that the girls were said to have been sighted but, for the past two days, wherever the troops go, they were only told that it was a convoy of Boko haram passing through the villages but they didn’t see any girls,” he said.
