“The girls were lured into the trucks by men who pretended to members of the Nigerian security force. They students were given the impression that Boko Haram were coming to attack the school and they will be given protection” .
Ambassador Jidda who said except for two security men present on the day of the attack the schoolgirls were “fairly on their own” while confirming the insurgents burnt down the school immediately the girls were loaded into Boko Haram trucks and conveyed to Sambisa forest located in the outskirts of Borno.
He maintained that the Governor Kashim Shettima administration have been put under pressure by the Federal Government, the wife of the President, Dame Patience Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party chairman, Ahmed Mu’azu, hence the need to respond.
