        @BBCAfrica You sons & daughters of Lucifer disguising as media houses & writing rubbish, who told you those girls were kidnapped? How dare you go about publishing lies to the world? Do you ever engage in investigative journalism or you just write anything because you heard?

        I love Buhari, he is a great POLITRICKIAN. Kidnap the girls. Dispatch a search team. Release them after few weeks. Organise a welcome party for them, Its an achievement, use it to campaign for 2019 general elections. #Dapchi #DapchiGirls #BokoHaram #Nigeria

        The release of the Dapchi girls is only a pyrrhic victory for PMB. I cannot imagine a retired general playing catch-up with thugs. The government must act now to put the whole security forces on full alert. This menace of kidnapping must not occur again or tragedy looms.

        Alhumdulillah(Thank God Almighty) for the start of return our girls in Dapchi! We need ALL our girls back now. Our children everywhere must never fear death or kidnapping for going to school. God Almighty will hold us accountable for how we treat our children. #BringBackOurGirls
