The Nasarawa State government yesterday confirmed reports of a letter purportedly written by Boko Haram insurgents threatening to abduct girls from a school in the state.
The Commissioner for Education, Barrister Yakubu Na’Hauwa, confirmed that there was a letter from Boko Haram to the principal of GSSS, Lafia, threatening to abduct his female students. He said the letter sought the principal’s cooperation with the insurgents to avoid bloodshed during the operation. He could not confirm receipt of such letters by the other schools which were also said to have been written.
“I was not in the state, but I returned to receive a complaint from the principal of GSSS Lafia about the purported threat letter Boko Haram to abduct female students from the school,” he said, adding that he had to urgently instruct the ministry’s permanent secretary to do a formal complaint to the state government, drawing attention to the letter on the need to quickly act on it.
The letters were said to have been received yesterday from dispatch riders who stopped at the gates of three schools in the state. State police spokesman ASP Ismaila Umaru said his office had no information on the incident and did not confirm the threat letters.

Boko Haram has never Threatens anything and do it.this is just a way to plant fear or distract d JTF.

..though i believe this is boko haram seeking cheap publicity,however government of Nassarawa must use all the security apparatus available to him to protect these school girls,if need be they schools may temporarily be closed down,in other to avoid any further national embarrassment!
But i just hope APC governors are nt into their usual dirty political games,a case of 'the witch that cried at night,in the morning the child died'!

Hope this isn't another gimmick by the students? Cos i remember last month while i was in keffi when some school pupils of government college keffi drafted a letter imposting boko haram stating in the letter that boko haram is coming to bomb the school.

Lordabas: Whenever Boko Haram tells you that they are coming, they will never fail to do so. My fear now is that no one knows when and how they are going to come

And how can we be sure that these letters really came from BH because you never can tell what the mischievous elements can do to cause commotion?
