Buhari to meet Dapchi girls’ parents in Yobe
President Muhammadu Buhari wil today meet with parents of the 110 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram on February 19 in Dapchi, Yobe State.
They will be among the stakeholders at the parley in the Yobe State Government House in Damaturu during a one-day presidential visit.
Buhari has visited Taraba, Plateau and Benue states, where killings by herdsmen took place. He is also due to visit Niger State tomorrow.
Yobe government officials said yesterday that the President is not likely to visit Dapchi, unless there is a last-minute change in plans.
Some of the parents confirmed to The Nation correspondent yesterday that they had been invited to the Government House in Damaturu for the meeting.
