Boko Haram has released more than 100 of the schoolgirls it abducted last month, returning them to their village in north-east Nigeria.

One of the goals of Boko Haram – which has kidnapped thousands of girls, boys and women, forcing some of them to blow themselves up, killed thousands of others and displaced millions – is to stop children receiving what it perceives as western-style education.

Hafsat Abdullahi phoned the Guardian to say her 16-year-old sister Fatima, who had been taken, had been dropped off in Dapchi. She put her sister on the phone.

“It took us three days to get back to Dapchi,” said Fatima. “We were divided into three groups and flown in planes, and taken over rivers in boats.”

Soon after arriving back in Dapchi, the army told Fatima and her schoolmates to assemble at the village hospital.


“They took all of them to the hospital, Fatima is in the hospital now,” Hafsat said later, waiting at home to see her sister. “I heard that the chief of staff of the army is here and wants to take the girls with him to Damaturu. I don’t like that – I want her to stay.”

Their parents were not allowed in to see them, and the girls were soon put into vehicles and driven away. Their destination was Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, where they were to meet the president, Muhammadu Buhari.

In the aftermath of the Dapchi attack, Buhari said his government would negotiate with the militants, but in a statement released on Twitter on Wednesday he claimed there had been “backchannel” negotiations and that no ransoms had been paid.

This raises the question of what was offered to secure the girls’ release. The Nigerian government held several Boko Haram commanders who could have been handed over as barter.

Other aspects of the abduction and release remain murky. According to an Amnesty International report, the army and police had been warned that Boko Haram would abduct the girls and made no attempt to stop them.

They also had been warned that they would be brought back on Wednesday morning, according to Dapchi residents, and positioned themselves at the school they had been taken from, thinking that they would be dropped off there.

However, their kidnappers drove them into the centre of the village, close to the police station.

Neither the military nor the police attempted to apprehend the militants, who even stopped to change a tyre before leaving Dapchi, according to Mataba.

Parents of the Chibok girls, kidnapped four years earlier in a neighbouring state to worldwide condemnation, happened to be in Dapchi to commiserate with their counterparts and urge them to be patient.

The Chibok girls were taken before Boko Haram split into several factions, when it was led by Abubakar Shekau, a notorious militant who vowed to “sell them in the market” and who is still believed to have some 100 of the girls in his custody, having traded others for vast sums of money, according to an investigation by the Wall Street Journal.

This is it! It is crystal clear that more dissenting voices will start to spring up to cause more confusion on the fake Dapchi girls return, imagine this badly scripted play by a moronic government. Boko Haram had been technically defeated this I have been hearing since early 2017 and yet this same Technically Defeated Boko Haram (TDBH) have the nerve to drive in broad daylight (in a place expected to be a militarized zone) to drop off some girls they "kept" to their master in Aso rock for a job well done. It shall not be well with any soul chanting 'Sai Buhari till 2023', Amen!

They even had enough luxury of time to change a bad tyre

I tell you, even if they brought out a pot and cooked jollof rice in the village square, the police will only be salivating on the aroma of the meal

Hmmm, this is the beginging of the end for pmb, lai Moh'D and co

This is beginning to stink.

“It took us three days to get back to Dapchi,” said Fatima. “We were divided into three groups and flown in planes, and taken over rivers in boats.”

Imagine these militants moving all along while the highly fortified military present watched helplessly.
One thing is certain,all who have a hand in this scripted scam will answer for it sometime someday.

Before you know it a new group will kidnap another 100 girls and wait for bumper pay off from uncle Bubu.

This country is a joke.

By the time the real truth behind this Boko Haram drama will be finally revealed, no soul in Nigeria will ever wish Buhari and his APC well in life for playing on the Mumu minds of unwary Nigerian youths who refused to make good use of their grey matters on sensitive issues that can easily be reasoned out. Connect the dots, cross the T and dot the I in this whole drama you will understand that Boko Haram is an extension of Ministry of Interior to intimidate and threaten while doing the bidding of the man at the Aso Rock with his cabals.

So Boko Haram has the ability to airlift over 100 Abductees in planes....hmm. interesting

yeeeeeeeeeeeeee jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, funkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This is the real issue. One of the Chibok girls narrated how helicopters used to drop supplies to the Boko Haram . Now we hear of the victims being air lifted. Planes, helicopters, trucks, buses etc etc. ? ? ? ? ?

Nawao, I just weak for this matter

I am not surprised. Some people subsidized your flights with $1 billion dollars

We were flown in planes ,

Anyway what am I saying
Buhari pls go and leave us alone resign

Flown in planes? Yeye dey smell. I am beginning to believe the claim that this boko haram thing is a scam being perpetrated by those in high places in this country

Nigerian Army = BOKO HARAM

So some people are believing this poo of flying them in plane from which airport to which run way. Or because of hate to say government is accomplice. Abi plane now take off in the forest or bush as the case may be, abeg you comedians remind me of the boeing again, is it boeing 767 or 776 flight.

Bokoharam would soon become a political party for the North and northerners...I pity gullible Southerners .

Don't be a dummy. Have you heard of helicopters? It is a magical invention that is powered by engines to make it fly. It can take off and land anywhere with minimal space. There has been rumours of helicopters making drops to Boko haram. This solidifies that claim.

According to you clowns, anybody with constructive criticism against the govt is because of hate. Bill Gates also hates the govt too.

Pathetic filth.

Buhari, APC and boko haram are one and the same

unbelievable, since the return of dapchi girls, it have been a mystery in the minds of Nigerians, questions and thougths run through our minds.
we are happy for their safe returns but we need answers not just playing with the minds of Nigerians, thats not fair...
