Boko Haram yesterday  abducted 130 female students by members of Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State. The secondary school girls, who were abducted by members of Boko Haram, were among the 250 boarders at the government secondary school and were sitting for the ongoing WAEC/SSCE when they were forcibly taken away from the school on Monday night.

The incident occurred about three weeks after the Borno State Government had closed down all public schools to avert further attacks on students. The terrorist group had attacked many schools in the North-east, killing scores of students and the teaching staff.


However, it was gathered that the female students were asked to return to school to write their final year secondary school exams that was supposed to commence this week.
