Buhari Reads Riot Act To Service Chiefs, Sit-up Or Be…

President Muhammadu Buhari has warned the country’s Service Chiefs that any more security lapses that leads to another abduction in the likes of the Dpachi schoolgirls will be “viewed seriously”.

The President said this on Friday during the reception of the freed 104 Dapchi schoolgirls at the State House, Abuja.

It would be recalled that on the 19th of February, 2018, 110 school girls from Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State where abducted Boko Haram.

But on Wednesday, the insurgents released 104 of them, after one month of captivity.

Mr Buhari said: “We entered into negotiations solely to make sure that no single girl was hurt. This strategy paid off as the girls have been released without any incidents.

“Let me reemphasize our Administration’s commitment to the fight against terrorism and insurgency, and also call on all Nigerians, to join in this task. The security services have since been directed to put in place further measures around all schools vulnerable to attacks to ensure the safety of our pupils/students and teachers and school workers.

“I have tasked all the security agencies to work to ensure that we do not witness any reoccurrence of these incidents. Security Chiefs have been warned in clear terms that any lapse on their parts will be viewed seriously.

“To the rescued students, we want to reassure you as our daughters, that you will freely live and pursue your dreams in Nigeria of peace and order, without fear of violence or molestation.”
