#DapchiGirls: Lawmaker Claims The Girls Are Within Yobe

The House of Representatives member representing Bursari/Yunusari/Gaidam Federal Constituency, Goni Buka has said that the 110 girls abducted by Boko Haram at the Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi are within Yobe state.

He said,

The girls are within Yobe. We have an idea that they are in Bulabulin, Yunusari Local Government. The military is aware that Boko Haram has been in that place for over four years. They live in that place like their own city.

I cannot blame the military because I am speaking with those that are carrying out the operation. We have been speaking and they are telling me everything that they are doing; so, I cannot say I will blame anybody in  the military. They are doing everything but I think they need to improve in their search so as to rescue those girls.

This issue is beyond the military that we have in Yobe. It is not the issue of sending 10 policemen or 20 soldiers. It is a matter of commitment. That is what we need. If they like, let them give me the uniform and I will wear it and go and show them the place.

Even the day of the incident, the chairman, member, House of Assembly and I went to Gumsa because we had information that three of the girls died along the way and they were thrown away but it was wrong information.
