Faced with seeming government inaction and contradictory and confusing statements about the whereabouts of the Dapchi students, the girls' parents have joined forces, tracking their own list of missing girls and forming an association. Bashir Manzo is the newly elected head of the parents of the missing Dapchi schoolgirls association. They later released another statement to say the missing girls had been rescued by the Nigerian army, although they didn't specify the number that was rescued. Buhari promised the families of the missing girls that they'll be found and their attackers brought to justice. Let me assure that our gallant armed forces will locate and safely return all the missing girls.
