Nigerians have reacted to the release of the Dapchi schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents from
Dapchi in Yobe State.
The girls were returned at the early hours
of Wednesday in nine vehicles, an episode similar to how they were taken
away.
It was, however, gathered that five of the girls may have died while in custody of the insurgents.
Meanwhile, Nigerians have expressed worries about the mysterious return of the girls.
They queried how Boko Haram insurgents were able to get into Dapchi town without being apprehended by security angents.
Majority of them have now accused President Buhari’s government of being behind the abduction.
The Amnesty International, AI, on Tuesday accused the military of being responsible for the abduction.
Here are some reactions:
@Augusta “This was the whole set up. Now we know why Baba was
boasting of responding better than Jonathan in light of his obvious
errors. It was planned from the get go, from the removal of army road
blocks to the denial of the government to mama boko haram claiming the
girls were with her.”
@Uchemayagi “Don’t mind him, we knew from onset that it was staged,
it’s quite unfortunate that we now use peoples children for political
purposes. APC is full of evil people, may we never witness these set of
people again in our dear country.”
@Clementkanabe “This was the plan before now so that this government
will be praised for negotiating the release of the #DapchiGirls without
ransom payment. Remember the statement of the Defence minister, that the
girls will be rescued in 2 weeks. SMH.”
@Amoso “Something doesn’t feels right in this Dapchi kidnap saga.”
@Solomon2day “Nigerians will like to know the ‘magic’ behind the release of 105 out of 110 Dapchi schoolgirls”
@Zedicus, “Those girls were never kidnapped, they were only relocated
to be returned on a later day which I want to believe is a drive
towards someone’s re-election come 2019 and those five that died must
have been in the know of the game that played out and had to silence
them.”
@Kolade “When Chibok girls were kidnapped, people said it was a set
up, government delayed action. Soon we realised it was true but too
little too late. Dapchi happened, this government went into action and
ensure majority of the girls were returned, you said it was a set up!
Really.”
@Sammyfizzy ”The drove back and dropped the girls without being seen or apprehended. youall are jokers”
@Bunmifase “In peace deals you don’t use guns bec u must have agreed
to some terms and conditions and part of it is usually no body should be
http://harmed.As much as I suspect foul play but am still happy that
some families will rejoice today and I rejoice with them.”
@Ayovictor “We knw dat Dapchi sch girls is an APC plan 4 2019, A
perfect Decoy 4 d $1B 2 fight Boko haram, I knew it the first day the
news came.”
@Veremjude “It’s unbelievable, Boko Haram terrorist will drive
through communities with 9 Hilux vans to Dapchi, drop off the kidnapped
girls, exchange pleasantries with community leaders and drive back to
their hideout. No military confrontation, no spy drones. What a shit
hole country.”
@kardinalsmith “So the next release from PMB’ Media Aides will be “I
have fulfilled my Promise to rescue abducted girls”. Sadly in some
sections of this nation, these staged drama will still speak for them
for re-election in 2019.”
