The
Minister of communication, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Wednesday that the attack
that led to missing of school children at Government Girls Science and
Technical College Dapchi was to embarrass the government and attract attention.
The
Minister who spoke at a fact finding visit in Government Girls Science and
Technical College Dapchi, said with the determination of the gallant soldiers
the days of Boko haram is over.
On
the case of the number of students being abducted, the Minister said they
have not been able to establish how many people where abducted.
"What
we know for a fact now is we cannot account for some students but since two
days ago students have been reporting back to school.
We
also have it on record that some of them have phoned from their hiding place,
some from Damaturu, some from other locations. But, as things develop we will
let you know.
But,
we cannot categorically say 'X' number of students have been abducted but
we can say not all students have returned" he said.
Fielding
question on the state government statement about the rescue of some of the
girls, he said "I think we should take it in context, to me, the most
authoritative position is the one given by both the governor, theater commander
and the GOC. What we know is that some students can not be accounted for. That
is because some of them are still returning back", he added
