Buhari Plays Host To Dapchi Sch GIrls And Warns Politicians Against Abducting Students

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday received the released Dapchi schoolgirls at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari warned politicians against politicizing abduction of school girls in the country, saying security agencies will deal severely with people making political capital out of it. Buhari who gave the warning while receiving the released school girls and two primary school pupils from Dapchi, Yobe State, at the presidential villa, also threatened that any security chief that allowed lapses in his job would be dealt with.


The president affirmed that Boko Haram insurgents released the Dapchi school girls last Wednesday unconditionally after painstaking back channel negotiations. He said government opted for negotiations because it did not want any of the captives to be hurt.
