Co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group, Oby Ezekwesili, has reacted to the return of the Dapchi schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists in Yobe State.
Most of the girls returned to the community on Wednesday morning, more than four weeks after 110 students were kidnapped from the Government Girls Science Technical College (GGSTC), Dapchi, on February 19.
Although the number of girls that returned has not been confirmed, there is heavy security presence in the community while the parents and other residents are jubilating over their return.
Ezekwesili noted that while the BBOG celebrates the return of the Dapchi schoolgirls, the Federal Government should swiftly deploy the winning formula to secure the release of the remaining Chibok girls.
76 out of 110? And what is the story with the rest of OUR #DapchiGirls? This is not a time for piecemeal information? Pls .@AsoRock PROVIDE DETAILED REPORT on this RETURN of #DapchiGirls NOW. https://t.co/18QvdGmGPv

What a REAL PITY. Extremely SADDENED that even 1 of OUR #DapchiGirls DIED in this ENTIRELY PREVENTABLE tragedy. Now 5 parents will be grieving these UNPARDONABLE deaths.
