More than 100 girls were still missing today (February 21, 2018), two days after a Boko Haram attack on their school in northeast Nigeria that has raised fears of a repeat of the 2014 Chibok kidnapping that shocked the world, according to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website.
Islamist militants stormed the Government Girls Science Secondary School in Dapchi, Yobe state on February 19. Locals initially said the girls and their teachers fled.
But fears have been growing about the whereabouts of the students, and many now believe it was likely that they were taken by Boko Haram fighters.
The Boko Haram Islamist radicals gained worldwide notoriety in April 2014 when they abducted 276 girls from their school in Chibok, in neighboring Borno state. The terrorist group used many of those girls as sex slaves.
