Nigeria government said the Air Force has been unable to locate the 110 students taken from their school in Dapchi town, Yobe State on Monday, February, 19 by Boko Haram insurgents despite logging up over 200 flight hours and engagement of its various intelligence platforms in the search for the girls.
The Nigerian presidency announced this in a series of tweets in which it announced the relocation of Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar to Yobe State to lead efforts for rescue of the schoolgirls.
The tweets are obviously intended as a response to criticisms that government has not done much in terms of rescue of the 110 girls kidnapped from Government Girls Science and Technical Secondary School in Bursari local government area of Yobe State.
The Presidency through one its twitter handle, @NGRPresident said, “Today Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar @CAS_AMSadique relocated to Yobe State to personally superintend the search for the missing Dapchi girls.”
“The @NigAirForce had earlier deployed more platforms to the N/East, as security agencies ramp up efforts to locate & rescue the girls.”
“As at 6pm on Monday February 26, 2018, the @NigAirForce had flown a total of 200 hours conducting searches for the missing Dapchi girls.”
SaharaReporters had in an earlier report publish a report to indicated that Nigerian military authorities were informed of the impending Boko Haram attack in Yobe, weeks before the abduction of the girls.
But the military not only disregarded instruction to be on high alert, but also withdrew its troops from Dapchi, a situation which facilitated Boko Haram’s invasion and abduction of the schoolgirls.
It also took the Nigerian government six days to officially confirm the kidnap. The Police and the Nigerian military have been trading blames on the responsibility for the security lapses that led to the abduction of the girls.
Some sources had said girls have been taken to Kanama on the Nigerian-Nigerien border by their abductors.

But they can bomb Adamawa indigenes

The only thing the Air Force is good at is "mistakenly " bombing innocent IDP camp orphans ..

Anyways when the president is cluless and incompetent.. It will definitely spread to all sector of the nation ..

So I'm not surprised, you people just want to use the option of ransom payment to get the field out ..

No be today yansh dey for back ..


Biko make una check my profile

Failed government

They should check a house in Daura belonging to a certain Muhammadu Buhari.
In 2014 a year before election Chibok happened.
In 2018 a year before another election Dapchi happened.

Hausa air force

Olodo air force. Filled with Fulani/Hausa incompetent bastards,who has no business there in the first place. Nepotism has reduced the Nigerian air force into a bunch of nonentities.

what this administration really needs to do is to stop spreading the often debunked propaganda that BH has been defeated, technically, totally, partially or otherwise.


fact remains that BH is still very potent & occupies enough territory to pose a threat.


rather than the FG giving false reports about how BH has been dislodged because of elections in 2019, which in turn leads to innocent civilians moving back to those areas & the military reducing its level of alertness, the FG should just focus on actually addressing the scourge.

What of the recently commissioned drone?
