Abuja
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it was shocked by reports that 94 Nigerian female students have been declared missing after insurgents attacked the Girls Secondary School Dapchi, Yobe state on Tuesday.
This was contained in press statement, issued yesterday, by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, who explained that the party was “very disturbed by this ugly development especially given the conflicting reports on the whereabouts of these innocent girls”.
“Our party restates that the life, safety and wellbeing of all Nigerians remain of paramount importance to us and we therefore insist that all efforts must be exerted to find these students.
“The PDP is monitoring development on the position of the Nigeria Police investigation of the matter. We, however, charge the Inspector General of Police to immediately put all machinery in place to unravel this disturbing situation and recover the missing children”, the party said.
The statement challenged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled federal government to live up to its basic responsibility of protecting lives and property in our country.
