We’ll go to any length to rescue Dapchi schoolgirls, others —Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that his administration would go to any length to ensure that the 110 Dapchi schoolgirls and other Nigerians still in the custody of Boko Haram terrorists are rescued.

A tweet posted on Mr. President’s official Twitter handle on Monday quoted him as making the assurance when he received three lecturers of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), and 10 women who recently regained freedom from the camp of the terrorist group.

The tweet read, “I can’t fully express the joy I felt I this afternoon, as I received our citizens recently released from Boko Haram captivity—fathers, mothers, sons, daughters.

“We will go to any length to ensure that no one is left behind in the hands of terrorists. Every Nigerian life matters!”
