A Cloud of uncertainty was hanging yesterday on the fate of the girls reportedly abducted at the Government Girls Science Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State.
Parents demanded their return and the true situation of things from Governor Ibrahim Gaidam.
A big search for the missing girls, whose number is also unclear, has been launched.
Gaidam met with the parents and the Dapchi community over Monday’s invasion of the town and the school by Boko Haram.
It is believed that some of the girls might have been abducted by the insurgents.
The mood at the meeting with the parents, who gathered at the palace of the Emir, turned sour when the governor announced that the missing girls had not been rescued, contrary to a statement the state government issued on Wednesday night.
Many of them left the palace in anger, tears and sorrow.
Some of the residents of Dapchi threw missiles at some of the vehicles in the governor’s convoy.
One of the parents described the governor’s message as “hopeless”.
The state government apologised for the statement issued on Wednesday night on the rescue of some of the abducted girls.
