    The fate of dozens of girls from a boarding school in northern Nigeria, who went missing following an attack by Boko Haram insurgents, is still unclear. But a campaigner from the #BringBackOurGirls movement says lessons haven't been learnt from Chibok.pic.twitter.com/hBZ22tByJD

        What's Baffling is how a number like 105 students go missing and nobody can trace that. You will need buses for that c'mon and some form of accommodation to keep that number of girls.

        Is there no difference between d students 'going missing'& being 'kidnapped'?Why is d MSM shielding Buhari's inadequacies,ineptitude & corruption at all levels?Granted he's a Western stooge but is that why the media should turn a blind eye to the plight of those kidnapped girls?

        I believe the Government knows how to get those girls. Sadly, it’s to their own benefit
