A member of the House of Representatives representing Bursari/Yunusari/Gaidam Federal Constituency, Mr. Goni Bukar, has given an insight to the likely place where the abducted Dapchi school girls might be held by their Boko Haram captors.
The Federal government has since confirmed that no fewer than 110 girls are still missing after the terrorists stormed the Dapchi Girls Government Technical School, Yobe, and abducted scores of the students.
The Nation newspaper quoted Bukar as saying in Damaturu that the girls might still be held in Bulabulin, Yunusari Local Government Area.
“The girls are within Yobe. We have an idea that they are in Bulabulin, Yunusari Local Governmen Areat.
“The military is aware that Boko Haram has been in that place for over four years. They live in that place like their own city.
“I cannot blame the military because I am speaking with those that are carrying out the operation. We have been speaking and they are telling me everything that they are doing; so, I cannot say I will blame anybody in the military. They are doing everything but I think they need to improve in their search so as to rescue those girls,” he said.
Bukar added that the issues of the missing girls is beyond the military.
“This issue is beyond the military that we have in Yobe. It is not the issue of sending 10 policemen or 20 soldiers. It is a matter of commitment. That is what we need.
“If they like, let them give me the uniform and I will wear it and go and show them the place.
“Even the day of the incident, the chairman, member, House of Assembly and I went to Gumsa because we had information that three of the girls died along the way and they were thrown away but it was wrong information,” he added.
The service chiefs on Friday held a meeting with regard to the missing girls, at which they resolved that reports of military strategy to rescue the girls will no longer be publicized.
