The location of the recently abducted schoolgirls from Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi has been revealed. Dailytrust quoted a credible source as saying that half of the schoolgirls have been ferried across the border into Niger Republic. The report said the girls were split into two groups; one was left in an enclave in northern Borno State and the other taken to a village in Niger Republic.
“The girls ferried across a shallow river and are held in the border town of Duro in Niger Republic. The second batch has been moved to Tumbun Gini area of Abadam LGA of Borno,” the unnamed source added. Abadam, with headquarters at Malam Fatori is three kilometres from Bosso Niger Republic.
It was gathered that the girls were abducted by the Musab Albarnawi faction of Boko Haram which is loyal to the Islamic State of West Africa. The group had lost grounds along the shores of the Lake Chad, the same way Abubakar Shekau, the factional leader of the group suffered was sacked from the Sambisa Forest base following onslaught by the Nigerian military.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government said no effort would be spared until the girls are rescued.
