President Muhammasu Buhari has received the three released University of Maiduguri lecturers and other women from Boko Haram captivity in State House in Abuja.
The President expressed his joy and promised to rescue the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls.
His words: “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!
“They were the University of Maiduguri lecturers, abducted while on service to their fatherland, and also the women abducted from a funeral procession. Today they are safely back home, and Nigeria rejoices with them and with their families.
“They told me that they had given up all hope of ever coming back alive. I assured them that we will never give up on any of our citizens. I have asked the security agencies to ensure that every abducted person—including the Dapchi girls—is safely released.”
