The Defence Headquarters, on Saturday, denied that troops withdrew a few days before the abduction of schoolgirls in Dapchi, Yobe State.

It explained that the troops were located just 30 kilometres from the school.

The Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. John Agim, in a text message to one of our correspondents, said there was no truth in the allegation that the military withdrew a few hours to the attack.

Agim said, “There is no truth in the allegation because the military has been in a location that is about 30 kilometres to the school.”

Efforts to get the spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, Moshood Jimoh, did not succeed as he neither returned calls to his mobile nor responded to an SMS sent to him.

A national newspaper had reported on Saturday that the Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, said security men withdrew from Dapchi a few hours to the attack.

Gaidam stated this when the Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, paid him a visit in Damaturu, the state capital.

The Boko Haram insurgents, who abducted the girls, were reported to have arrived at Dapchi at 7pm on Monday and left at 9pm.

FG plans to beef up security in schools

In the mean time, the Federal Government on Saturday said it planned to improve security system in schools to curb terror attacks.

The Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Anwukah, listed limited budgetary allocation and the number of schools as problems that must be addressed before such a plan could be actualised.

The minister said, “The problem is that we have many schools spread all over the country and we have a very limited budget for the schools. But we are doing the best we can.

“There are plans to provide better security for the schools. We have a lot of things in the pipeline to do.”

continue playing politics with the life of people.

Nothing is impossible when it comes to conspiracy.
Especially when it comes to playing cards to win political goals.
But God is watching u all in 3D. Who knew Abacha could just drop dead!
It will only take one of their good allies going rogue to help us wipe out all the people perpetrating the evils we hear on a daily basis against this country, just like the person that went rogue and poisoned Abacha's apple!
God help us....
May the girls return home safely, amen.

That statement was made by a governor. It is a heavy allegation and not one that will be made lightly especially with the ethnic and religious allegiance the key players share so the Army should shut up and stop their dirty denials.

If they hadn't truly withdrawn from that area, they would have been able to intervene in the course of the at least 2 hour operation that it took to ferry off 100 girls! Are there no checkpoints? Did those terrorists become invisible?

This is a minister that knows that the major purpose of boko haram is to truncate western education yet the security agencies put together don't know to give all citadels of learning priority on the security chain? Many schools spread out? Do we even have enough? Or they should be shut down so Army n police can do their work? How did we get to this point?!

No hope on our security men and women again!

You have said it all , the only thing I can add is a plea to remind Nigerians to get their PVCs so we can vote the Buhari govt out

Not only book haram seem to be making millions from these abductions. The conspiracy seems deep

They will still tell their little children to vote for Buhari.

Lies. How can they change stance in our face on such sensitive issues?

I'll rather believe that the commander in chief of the zone Bs values humans more than cows than believe anything from the NA.

"We Didn't Withdrew Troop" Who committed this error? You or the military spokesman?

Why didn't the troops engage boko haram then. Or even give chase
