    Mystery is surrounding dozens of school girls who have reportedly been kidnapped by Boko Haram in north east Nigeria. The attack is already being compared to the #Chibok girls abduction four years ago. Coming up on Focus on Africa ▶️ http://bbc.in/2HzWyam pic.twitter.com/lndSmyEvMO

        I think it’s time for the international community to help the Nigerian Government put an end to what is going on in north east region.

        This is unacceptable! Shame on Buhari and his govt for failing to protect innocent school girls.

        Shocked how over 100girls disappear without a trace...seriously 100 innocent girls disappear and you have the guts to joke about a rescue mission...the armed forces should get up and raid all suspected areas....no mercy and wipe out these rebels

        Heard of a report recently where the armed forces were close to capturing the Boko Haram leader and were told to back down...Nigerians should be suspicious at this point...i feel its an inside job...

        BBC don't be stupid. The girls are abducted by Boko Haram. Just be straight forward with your news. I don't know what you are gaining supporting the corrupt cloned clueless Buhari govt. You can't even ask him to produce #NnamdiKanu British citizen and biafran.

        I'm sure you know what happens with fraud, the more they parch it the more it leaks, same with the fraud called Nigeria. Keep listening and you will hear more about, Snake and Monkey swallowing millions of Naira, all in Nigeria.
