Nigerian security forces failed to act on advance warnings that a convoy of Boko Haram fighters was heading towards a town where they abducted 110 schoolgirls last month, an investigation by Amnesty International has revealed.
The military failed to respond while Boko Haram conducted an armed raid on the Government Girls Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe state, on 19 February in an assault with chilling echoes of the infamous Chibok girls’ abduction of 2014.
“The Nigerian authorities must investigate the inexcusable security lapses that allowed this abduction to take place without any tangible attempt to prevent it,” said Osai Ojigho, Amnesty International’s Nigeria Director.
“As an even greater priority, the government must use all lawful means at its disposal to ensure that these girls are rescued.
“The authorities appear to have learned nothing from the abduction of 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno state in 2014 and failed to ensure protection for civilians in northeast Nigeria, specifically girls’ schools.”
In response to the Chibok abduction, the Safe Schools Initiative - which is currently coordinated by the Presidential Committee on the North-East Initiative - was launched to improve security around schools. However, no framework seems to be in place to prevent further abductions and it appears that the Nigerian military is unable to protect schools from attack.
“Evidence available to Amnesty International suggests that there are insufficient troops deployed in the area, and that an absence of patrols and the failure to respond to warnings and engage with Boko Haram contributed to this tragedy,” said Osai Ojigho.
“The Nigerian authorities have failed in their duty to protect civilians, just as they did in Chibok four years ago. Despite being repeatedly told that Boko Haram fighters were heading to Dapchi, it appears that the police and military did nothing to avert the abduction.”
Osai Ojigho, Amnesty International’s Nigeria Director
Amnesty International gathered testimonies from multiple credible sources showing that the Nigerian army and police received multiple calls up to four hours before the raid on Dapchi, but did not take effective measures to stop the abduction or rescue the girls after they were taken by Boko Haram fighters.
The military withdrew troops from the area in January, meaning the closest personnel were based one hour’s drive from Dapchi.
Between 2pm and 6.30pm on 19 February, security forces received at least five calls warning them that the armed group was on the way to Dapchi.
The first call was made to the army command in Geidam, 54km from Dapchi, informing them that Boko Haram fighters had been seen at Futchimiram heading to Gumsa, a village about 30km from Dapchi. However, the evidence documented by Amnesty International shows that the military did nothing to engage with Boko Haram and ensure the protection of civilians.
Commander ‘aware of Boko Haram movement’ four hours before abduction
The sighting of an armed convoy at Futchimiram immediately sparked several phone calls to alert authorities. Sources who informed the military commander in Geidam at 2pm report that he responded to them by saying he was aware of the situation and was monitoring it.
At around 3pm, the convoy arrived in Gumsa, where they remained till 5pm. People in Gumsa called Dapchi villagers to warn them that Boko Haram fighters were on their way. One villager who received such a call said he informed a police sergeant who promised to notify the Dapchi Division Police Officer (DPO).
At around 6:30pm, when residents were heading to the mosque for evening prayers, Boko Haram members entered Dapchi. Witnesses said Boko Haram fighters asked for directions to the military post, the local government office and the girls’ school.
A police source in Dapchi told Amnesty International that officers fled because they feared the Boko Haram fighters would overpower them.
Government must investigate root causes of failure to respond
A source based in northeast Nigeria told Amnesty International: “All the military needed to do was send troops towards Gumsa from Geidam or Babban Gida, while telling its troops in Damasak, Kareto, Gubio and Magumeri to be on the lookout or be on patrol.”
A review of the Nigerian army’s actions by Amnesty International’s crisis advisor for military operations also concluded that the military’s response was woefully inadequate. The review took into consideration the locations of the soldiers and the time it would take to get to Dapchi, as well as the route taken by Boko Haram.
According to victims and eyewitnesses interviewed by Amnesty International, Boko Haram left Gumsa for Dapchi at around 5:00pm, arriving at around 6:30pm. They left Dapchi at around 7:30pm in the direction of Gumsa, where villagers say they arrived at around 9:00pm.
During the attack, army officials both in Geidam and Damaturu were again alerted. The military only arrived in Dapchi shortly after Boko Haram left.
Villagers in Dapchi and Gumsa said a military jet arrived about one hour after Boko Haram left Dapchi.
Six days after the abduction, on 25 February, a security meeting was held at the governor’s office in the state capital Damaturu attended by state and federal government officials, security chiefs, the military officials operating in the area and representatives from the school and parents. The authorities were aware that the military was notified at least four hours before the attack that suspected Boko Haram fighters were heading to Gumsa. No one appears to have asked why the military did not respond adequately or why there were not enough troops.
President Muhammadu Buhari subsequently ordered an investigation into the response to the abduction.
“The government’s failure in this incident must be investigated and the findings made public – and it is absolutely crucial that any investigation focuses on the root causes,” said Osai Ojigho.
Osai Ojigho
“Why were insufficient troops available? Why was it decided to withdraw troops? What measures has the government taken to protect schools in northeast Nigeria? And what procedures are supposed to be followed in response to an attempted abduction?”
Families of abducted girls left without any information
The abduction was followed by confusion. Initially, the authorities denied any girls were abducted, then the Yobe state authorities stated that the military had rescued the girls. But the girls did not return home, and on 22 February the state government confirmed the abductions.
One parent told Amnesty International: “That night we heard their voices when they were being taken, but there was nothing we could do. Everyone was scared. Boko Haram did not stay in the town for more than one hour.”
Parent
Another parent described how the girls’ relatives were not given any information until the following day, and had to wait outside the school to find out if their loved ones were safe.
“Many parents were hopeful that their daughters were inside. We stood there from morning till around 5pm in the evening, when they let the students out. It was at that point it dawned on me that my daughter was among those abducted,” he said.
Another parent whose daughter returned said: “Nobody told parents officially that their daughters were taken. While I was glad seeing my daughters, I felt bad for other parents whose daughters could not be found.”
No lessons learned from 2014 Chibok abduction
The response to this abduction has chilling similarities to the abduction of 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno state in April 2014.
On that occasion, the military also had four hours’ advance warning but failed to take the immediate action needed to stop it, with most military personnel withdrawn shortly before the abduction.
Similarly, the abduction was followed by a climate of confusion and suspicion, which appeared to slow down the Nigerian authorities’ efforts to locate and free the abducted girls.
After the Chibok abduction, the military initially said that almost all the abducted girls had been rescued, but later had to retract that statement.
The authorities under President Goodluck Jonathan originally investigated Boko Haram’s responsibility for the Chibok abductions but never made the report public. In January 2016, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered another investigation into the government’s response to the Chibok abduction. This report was also never made public.
“Regrettably, no lessons appear to have been learned from the terrible events at Chibok four years ago. What happened in Dapchi is almost a carbon copy of what happened in Chibok, with the security forces failing to respond to warnings – and the same result for another hundred girls and their families,” said Osai Ojigho.
“All authorities must now work together to ensure the girls are brought home safely and this never happens again. This abduction is a war crime and those responsible must be brought to justice. As a first step, the two reports into the Chibok abductions should be made public.”
Amnesty International is calling on Boko Haram to immediately release the girls and all others in its captivity.
Background
A team of Amnesty International researchers visited Dapchi and interviewed 23 people, including girls who escaped, parents of the abducted girls, local officials and eyewitnesses, to document this abduction. They also interviewed three security officials.
The sources independently verified a list of Nigerian security officials who were alerted on 19 February, before and during the raid on the Government Girls Science and Technical College. They have been kept anonymous for their safety.
The sources and eyewitnesses in Dapchi confirmed that approximately 50 Boko Haram fighters arrived in Dapchi in a convoy of nine vehicles with Arabic inscriptions on them, seven Landcruiser trucks, one Hilux and a Canter truck.

I tot I'll see Fatima on long hijabs, burqas or naqibs. so far I've noticed that its d poor northerners that are so fundamental abt Islam. emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

this time, the difference will be that the girls will b found & then it will be the campaign slogan for 2019.

sgtponzihater1:
Yes very well. UST is a glorified secondary school with incompetent lecturers, Rivpoly gals are all over instamessenger, looking for not so free launch.

where u from?

That's the reason why Port Harcourt will hardly become a big City. Cultists/Bad boys everywhere.

as if cultist no full Lagos??

Wasn't expecting less from una... Efe is not a Segun neither is he an Ola, Dayo, etc. Haters go & die, atleast we know Efe Money, who know u? #EfeNation �

I c all ya hypocrites raining insults on her, not minding 2 hear her own side of d story. y'all are racist too, even the common albinos in our midst are discriminated & treated as 3rd class citizens in our country. hold yo fingers racist!

— blacks are more racist than whites.

eleojo23:
Where do Africans get these stuffs from?

Africans are always experts in religion and superstition.

No wonder we are behind in development

so in your "educated" mind, u think we Africans are more superstitious than Europeans, Americans & Asians? if yes is your answer then u need to go do more research. We are even the least of them all, not even close to Asians not to mention South Americans, North Americans (Satanism) & Europeans.

Single mother & Single father trend should be discouraged in the Nigerian society. no matter how strong a single mom is, she can't play the role of a father & mother at same time, same applies the single fathers. Children need both parents, they need the compassion of the mother & the toughness of the father. in the American Society today, their jails comprises of 60% blacks, 20% whites, 16% Latinos & 4% other races. This is because, during the early 70s, this single mom wave was trending among d black communities & nothing was done to stop or atleast reduce it. as much as 54% of children born to black families were raised by single moms or their grand parents. today the result is this, a black teen is 6 times more likely to be convicted of a crime than their white folks before their 23 birthday in the US.

choiii... where those attackers dy na, abeg mak dem com carry me along na...

Okay... truly my house is a SHITHOLE

kudos

the Columbian government shouldn't let them in. they abhorred democracy & voted for socialism, now they should enjoy it or vote for a change instead of running away from the problem.

Just 1 word ... SHITHOLE

War start! Let d begging begin...

abdulwastecx:
Stop spreading hate speech and trying to caused confusion among yorubas. Yorubas are not confused, they are smart enough to know that religion is personal. Else don't have identity crises we are just more liberal and more bonded by our ethnicity than any other ideology

when did calling a spade a spade hate speech? hey dude, facts don't care abt your feelings. the terms liberalism & freedom are alien words in the Islamic world, they have no meaning. it's either you follow the doings of Muhammad in d hadith or u are not a muslim, there's no inbtwn. there's nothing like liberal Muslim, moderate Muslim, a true Muslim will never allow his daughter marry a kafir. talking about d youbas, d fulanis don't categorize Yorubas as 1st class Muslims. they see them more as subordinates, slaves & fund raisers. as a Muslim in Nigeria, ure a subordinate to d sokoto caliphate whether u accept it or not. imagine the power Christian leaders lik oyedepo & adeboye has, yet these men have never ventured into politics. this cannot b said about the other side. cux they would have set the engines running to grab power by hook & crook. besides, Islam doesn't mean Peace, salam is the Arabic word for peace just lik shalom is the Hebrew word for peace. Islam mean submission, in context it means submit & have peace. what we see happening to the Benue ppl is d beginning, they must submit if the want peace.

most of you have failed to identify the bane of this senseless domination, its ISLAM. Islam is not a religion, its a political ideology. deep yourself into the history of Islam, ull find out that where ever Muslims are minority, dy aim for political dominance cux dats d only way to spread d ideology. have u ever heard of Christian republic of, Hindu republic of, Baha'i replublic of? even in Japan that is majority Shinto don't call themselves Shinto republic of. Islam is a tyrant ideology that it takes total control of the life of its follower. such as culture which encompasses eating, meals, dressing, language, beliefs, etc. Islam is the sole reason y fulanis are still on top up until now because their subordinates first identify themselves as Muslims before there respective ethnicities. they don't integrate into your society, dy don't accept your culture, dy allow their sons to marry your daughters but forbid their daughters to marry your sons. incase of future uprising, dy will inter-marry with the kafirs & ppl of other ethnicity so as to prevent it. that's y Yorubas are confused, you're a Christian but your uncle 1 is a Muslim & uncle 2 is a pagan. be wise... I'll never practice a religion/ideology that was passed on to my forefathers through war, coercion & deceit.

had it been this was "assembled" in 2005, we would have called it amazing. bleep it dix is 2018!!!!!

Nigerians have forgotten so soon wen dy deported Ghanaians by ship with absolutely nothing. Evil & antisemitic ppl calling Israel rascit. meanwhile in Israel ull find all races living together in the only Democratic nation in d middle east.

hatchy:
Racist,wicked Isrealis.

Only in Nigeria, especially the Christians see them as good people.

Stupid idiots who killed their own brother,Yeshua(Jesus the Christ) because he says he is Son of God and differs from their own belief.
No wonder Adolf Hitler embarked on whipping out this evil and wicked race.

Hail Hitler!

You're Evil... that hate in your heart will one day consume u smday... continue. kip using iPhone & electricity, fly airplane dn wish death on jews. may God give your household anoda Hitler. FOOL!!!

LETS ALL US CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE GREATNESS OF ISRAEL AS DICTATES BY THE BIBLE. WOULD N'T SOME PREACHERS SAY?

UNTIL BLACK PEOPLE OPEN THEIR INNER EYES AND MIND AND COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT
WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN SURVIVAL. THATS WHEN OUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER.

THESE GUYS ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL HEBREW WHOSE STORIES WAS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

JESUS WAS NOT A WHITE MAN AS CURRENTLY BEING DEPICTED. OTHERWISE HEROD WOULD HAVE
FOUND IT EASY TO PICK HIM UP WHEN WHEN HE WAS HIDDEN IN EGYPT.

THE WHITE OCCUPYING ISREALI NOW ARE THE SO CALLED ZIONIST WITH THEIR ORIGIN FROM
EASTERN EUROPE. THEY ARE THE REMNANT OF THE ASHKENAZI JEWS AND THE DESCENDANT OF
THE MONEY CHANGERS WHOM JESUS FOUGHT WITH IN THE TEMPLE. THEY ARE NOTHING BUT PAGAN,
BAAL WORSHIPERS OF THE ANCIENT TIME, CURRENTLY OF THE ROTHSCHILD'S CLAN SEEKING TO USE
THEIR OCCUPATION IN JERUSALEM TO SECURE THE COMING OF ANTI-CHRIST AND LUCIFER'S DOMINION OVER THE EARTH.

TRUE CHRISTIANS MUST WATCH AND PRAY..........
