One hundred and ten girls are missing after an attack on a school in northeast Nigeria by suspected Boko Haram insurgents, the information ministry said on Sunday, in what may be one of the largest abductions since the Chibok kidnappings of 2014.
President Muhammadu Buhari, the 75-year-old former military ruler elected in 2015 after vowing to crush Boko Haram, has described the disappearance of the girls after Monday’s attack in the town of Dapchi, Yobe state, as a “national disaster”.
The insurgents drove into the town of Dapchi on Monday and attacked the girls’ school, sending hundreds of students fleeing. Some of the attackers were camouflaged, with witnesses stating that a number of students thought they were soldiers.
“The federal government has confirmed that 110 students of the Government Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe State, are so far unaccounted for, after insurgents believed to be from a faction of Boko Haram invaded their school on Monday,” the information ministry said in a statement.
There had been confusion over the number of those missing, with estimates ranging from about 50 to more than 100. State police, Yobe government and others had given different figures while a parent representing families of girls who disappeared on Friday told Reuters 105 were missing.
Yobe state government added to the confusion when it said on Wednesday that dozens of the girls had been rescued, only to issue a statement the next day saying the schoolgirls were mostly still unaccounted for, sparking anger among locals.
The Nigerian Air Force on Sunday said the chief of air staff had “directed the immediate deployment of additional air assets and Nigerian Air Force personnel to the northeast with the sole mission of conducting day and night searches for the missing girls”.

Michelle Obama needs to start a hash tag campaign again, it work so well last time.
It would be a worthy cause to take a few thousand U.S. Marines and go clean Boko’s clock.
Maybe in the Black Panther sequel the Wakandans will rescue the girls from the Islamic slave traders.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Is that black journalist going to start barking at me if I say something ? (https://www.dailywire.com/news/27362/leftist-writer-thinks-black-people-should-do-amanda-prestigiacomo)
My image search of Dapchi shows me nothing of the town, but enough to get a better idea of what goes on there.
All the girls in hijabs.
Don’t worry the Wookiee will save when she’s President
It’s dega vu all over again.
In a couple of weeks they’ll be for sale in the mussulman slave markets.
I’ve read the account of a slave girl stolen in a raid of her Somalian village. She was Muslim. These thugs take any girls they can get. Best to not put girls into girls’ schools, sitting ducks.
First, each invading soldier gets a girl each. They want them young. Then they ride them to the place where they sell them, and on the way the men will use something about the girl (use your imagination, the stories varied) to get off, but not take her virginity. So she will be of highest worth. Then they lock them up and sell them, often in small groups.
Eventually they end up in other countries locked in a large home set up for that, maybe saudi, anywhere in the ME, and they are kept by a sort of agency. Then they are sold to people for the end use. It isn’t always sexual, often it is really as a household worker. A true slave.
The one I read about actually got away because the family that bought her used to travel to England and stay there with extended family. She was asked by another household servant next door (even though she was not allowed to talk to anyone, I think they were taking out the garbage or something) how much she made, and she admitted she was paid nothing. The other maid talked to some people and got help for her and got her out. Her story is so tragic (but with the happy ending). Slavery is alive and well.
The people haven’t risen up against these monsters.
