Mrs. Asabe Kwanbura, Principal of Government Secondary School Chibok where
suspected Boko Haram abducted female student says figure of the missing
students now stood at 230.
“But we have been able to recover 43 girls so far leaving 230 girls
presently missing.” Ababe said today shortly after the Borno State
governor Kashim Shettima visited the School in Chibok town.
Parents had told the visiting governor that 234 of their girls were still
missing since Boko Haram terrorist attacked the Schools last week but the
principal said four more girls were recovered shortly before the arrival
of the governor, which puts the number of the missing female students at
230
“The number of girls recovered so far is 43. It is only 43 girls I have
recovered and handed over to their parents.
“The initial 129 figure I gave were those that sat for exams on the day
they were abducted. The total number of boarding female students is 405;
this means that out 405, 230 are still missing.
“But the other issue is that out the 230 missing girls some of them had
ran home to meet their parents and we have not receive any information on
them.”. Kwambura said on phone today.
