While Nigerian army claimed to have rescued 48 of the girls,the Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim Gaidam on Thursday faulted the claim when he visited the affected families in Dapchi community, Yobe state on Thursday.
Governor Gaidam said āUntil now, we have no certainly that these boys (Boko haram) have taken these girls.
āWe should keep praying so that God reveal the whereabouts of the girls.
āWe directed the soldiers and security personnel to go anywhere the girls are said to have been seen and find them. I am together with the GOC, Brig-Gen Garba.
āHis men went to places that the girls were said to have been sighted but, for the past two days, wherever the troops go, they were only told that it was a convoy of Boko haram passing through the villages but they didnāt see any girls.ā
