More
than 100 girls are missing after a Boko Haram attack on a school in Dapchi,
Yobe State, earlier this week, parents told AFP on Friday.
Parents
in Dapchi, in Yobe State, said they had set up a support group after Monday’s
raid, which has revived memories of the 2014 abduction of more than 200 girls
in Chibok.
“Our
first step was to compile a comprehensive list of all the missing girls. So far,
we have compiled the names of 105,” said Bashir Manzo, the chairman of the
newly created group.
Heavily
armed jihadists stormed the boarding school in the remote town, forcing
terrified students to flee into the surrounding bush.
But
with many girls failing to return home, fears are growing that dozens of the
girls have been kidnapped.
