100 girls abducted.

MAIDUGURI—Less then 24 hours after the Boko
Haram terrorists bombed the Nyanya bus terminus
in Abuja, killing more than 100 innocent Nigerians,
some unidentified gunmen suspected to be
members of the terrorist organisation again
abducted more than 100 female students from a
Government Girls Secondary School, GGSS, in
Borno State.
The students were abducted in the school located
at Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State,
after killing a security personnel suspected to be a
soldier.
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP
Gideon Jubrin confirmed the attack in Chibok, but
said, he was yet to get details on the number of
casualties.
The incident occurred at the council headquarters
where the students were preparing to write the
Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations,
SSCE now going on across the country.
Vanguard sources said that the gunmen numbering
over 100 using motorcycles and Toyota Hilux vans
stormed the council’s headquarters at about 9pm,
and operated till 3am, yesterday.
“Apart from the abduction of the female students,
the gunmen also carted away foodstuff, before
setting many residential buildings and shops
ablaze,” the sources added.
A resident of Chibok who escaped the attack, Mr.
Nuhu Amos told Vanguard in a telephone interview
that, “ the gunmen armed with AK47 rifles,
Improvised Explosive Devices, IED’s, and petrol
bombs stormed Chibok on Monday evening and
attacked one of the security posts and shot one
security personnel, before abducting more than
100 female students, as well as setting some
houses and shops ablaze within the vicinity.
“Although, the attackers did not kill any resident,
they only shot one security operative, before
carting away foodstuff and escaping into the
Sambisa Forest.
“I also learnt that out of about 250 female students
writing their SSCE, some were able to escape into
the bush, while more than 100 were abducted by
the attackers using a 911 truck/lorry that was
abandoned by its driver who was heading to
Maiduguri, the state capital.
“Prior to this incident, gunmen had attempted to
attack Chibok on three occasions without success,
but this time around, they were able to accomplish
their mission, as they were in Chibok from 9pm till
about 3am on Tuesday.”
Another resident who spoke on the condition of
anonymity also said: “Seven of my children
including those of my elder brother and sister who
are writing the SSCE in the affected school are still
missing, and I don’t know whether they were
abducted or among those who escaped into the
bush.”
However, the PPRO who spoke on the issue said:
“Yes, there was an attack in Chibok, yesterday
evening by suspected members of Boko Haram
terrorists, but we are yet to get details. As soon as
details of the attack reach my table, I will get back
to you.”
