The BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) movement has, on Wednesday, expressed joy and skepticism over the manner the abducted students of Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State, were released.
BBOG stated this in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Mr Sesugh Akume following the release of some of the 110 Dapchi girls, abducted by the Boko Haram insurgents in February.
The group, while noting that their return was a welcomed development, vowed to interrogate the circumstances surrounding their return.
The statement reads in part:
“The #BringBackOurGirls movement has been made aware of the cheering news of the return of our missing #DapchiGirls.
“Our movement has confirmed this to be true and the accurate position of things.
“Reports say that 5 of them may have passed on, and 1 is still held back. This we are not yet able to fully verify.
“Our immense pleasure at the return of most of our #DapchiGirls on this 30th day of their captivity notwithstanding, the 14 questions we posed to the Government of Nigeria still stand, as well as our notice to commence legal action.

“The circumstances of this return shall also be interrogated.
“We shall be communicating further as we gain more clarity on what transpired and what is going on.”
BBOG had last week, issued a 14 question statement, querying the state of security during and after the abductions were carried out.
It wondered how a terrorist group that the Federal Government had informed Nigerians that “it has completely defeated,” still able to successfully launch an attack and abduct 110 schoolgirls in their school without any counteraction by the Nigeria military”.
In the latest development, BBOG lamented the fact that the Federal Government has ‘continued to release conflicting figures of the number of girls freed’.
