MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA—More than 100 girls are still missing three days after suspected Boko Haram extremists attacked their school in northern Nigeria, parents said Thursday, as fears grew that they may have been kidnapped like those from Chibok town nearly four years ago. One parent, Bashir Manzo, told The Associated Press that the parents compiled a list of 101 missing children and presented it to the governor. Boko Haram horrified the world when it abducted 276 girls from a boarding school in Chibok almost four years ago. Boko Haram fighters invaded Dapchi on Monday evening, forcing residents, including students of Government Girls Science and Technical School, to flee into the bushes. “I share the anguish of all the parents and guardians of the girls that remain unaccounted for,” Buhari tweeted Wednesday evening.
