The authorities of Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School at Dapchi town in Bursari local government area of Yobe state say at least 94 schoolgirls are missing after an attack by Boko Haram.
The insurgents attacked the town on Monday and targeted the all-girls school after arriving the town around 7 pm with over 18 gun
trucks.
A community source told Saharareporters that at least four bodies of students were recovered from the bush in the nearby town of Kusur.
Although the raid happened on Monday, the school authorities and parents waited to do a head count of the students to be sure of the exact situation.
According to residents of the community, Boko Haram terrorists came into Dapchi town with trucks mounted with high caliber weapons shooting sporadically and later headed to the girls’ hostels at the school where some 740 girls were resident. The sound from the sect’s militants explosives and gunshots alerted the students and their teachers who immediately scampered into nearby bushes for safety.
However, after the headcount on Tuesday, it was discovered that at least 94 of the girls were still missing. The school was immediately closed down while education authorities and security forces in the state began efforts to locate the missing students.
Residents and civilian militia groups in Dapchi say they believe Boko Haram had carefully planned to kidnap schoolgirls in their town over some time.


Just one week before the attack, soldiers protecting the town were moved elsewhere leaving the town vulnerable.
Nigerian security forces backed by military jets later arrived Dapchi and “chased away” the terrorists who had continued on a looting spree.
Nigerian military sources are unusually silent about latest claims by parents that the girls might have been abducted after Monday night raid. A military source last night told Saharareporters that they could not confirm or deny if the missing girls were abducted.
