An investigation into the abduction of the over 200 girls from Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, was on Thursday ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement issued by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the panel set up to carry out an investigation into the incident which took place in April 2014, will soon be named by the National Security Adviser (NSA), General Babagana Munguno.
Among other things, the probe is expected to expose the remote and immediate circumstances, that led to the kidnapping of the girls by Boko Haram terrorists and the other events, actions and inactions that followed the incident.
Speaking at a meeting with some parents of the abducted girls, representatives of the Chibok community and members of the Bring Back Our Girls movement at the Conference Hall of the State House, President Buhari said he always has the matter of the Chibok Girls in mind. Noting that the unfortunate incident happened before his administration assumed office, he said his government has been working on the matter by reorganising the military, removing all the service chiefs and appointing new ones to deal decisively with the Boko Haram insurgency.
President Buhari further explained that despite the terrible economic condition of the country, some resources were given to the military to reorganize and equip, retrain, deploy more troops and move more forcefully against Boko Haram. He noted that these efforts have yielded results as Boko Haram, which was formerly in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno,has now been reduced to areas around Lake Chad.
