Islamist terror group Boko Haram releases abducted schoolgirls — but issues chilling warning against education
The Nigerian extremist group has allowed almost all of the 110 schoolgirls it took a month ago to go free, but has warned parents: 'Don't ever put your daughter's in school again'
AN Islamist terror gang has freed almost all of the 110 schoolgirls it abducted a month ago — but with a chilling warning.
Boko Haram dumped the girls in Dapchi, Nigeria, with a message to parents: “Don’t ever put your daughters in school again.”
The extremist group’s name means “Western education is forbidden”.
Bashir Manzo, whose 16-year-old daughter was freed, said: “There is jubilation in Dapchi.”
Information minister Lai Mohammed said no ransom had been paid and on a first count 101 of the boarding school girls had been returned by their captors.
For Nigeria the episode was a reminder of Boko Haram’s 2014 kidnap of 276 schoolgirls, 100 of whom never came back.
