🗞 Nigeria: 110 girls still missing after Boko Haram raid
After the attack on a boarding school in the north of Nigeria, several students are still missing. Eyewitnesses report that they were kidnapped by the terrorist militia Boko Haram.
Just a week after the raid of the radical Islamic militia Boko Haram on a school in Nigeria 110 girls are still missing. The number was announced by Nigeria's Information Minister Lai Mohammed. The Nigerian Air Force announced that it will send additional units to the northeast and look for the girls.
According to eye witnesses, the extremists attacked the school in the village of Dapchi in the northeast of the country on Monday and kidnapped several girls. The government had initially rejected that report. Shortly thereafter, the authorities said the army had rescued 76 students. In addition, the bodies of two girls were discovered. Possibly, however, there were at least 13 other students in the hands of the Islamists, it was said mid-week.
Boko Haram abducted around 270 girls from their school in Chibok in April 2014. About 100 of them are said to still be in the hands of the Islamists. The militia uprising has killed more than 20,000 people since 2009, with around two million refugees.
