YOLA, NIGERIA - Three years ago this month, Boko Haram abducted 110 girls from a school in Dapchi, in Nigeria’s Yobe state. One of the girls who was released said Boko Haram held her back because she refused to convert to Islam. Just one girl.”Nigeria’s schools are increasingly targeted by Boko Haram and criminal groups. Buhari in 2019 said officials would ensure the release of everyone being held by Boko Haram and other armed groups. Boko Haram alone is believed to be holding more than 100 captives, almost all of them "Chibok girls,” the group abducted seven years ago.
