In what I think has to be one of the oddest and scariest recent incidents, this week, officials announced that rather than just about 100 students missing from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria, the actual number missing is actually more than 200. How did that happen? How do officials get a figure wrong by double the margin? Tragically, many of the parents have reportedly given up searching for their daughters because they havent gotten police support. Quote: “We formed a search party, riding on motorcycles into the forest, searching several places until a man gave us information that he saw our girls with the abductors ahead,” said Shettima Haruna, whose daughter is missing. “The man actually told us that our children were not far away. But he warned that the abductors were well armed and kill at will, so we decided to save our lives and returned.” Another father, Shettima Hamma, confirmed the search party had to give up because they had no armed support. Boko Haram are thought to be responsible for the abduction. What is really going on here? How do more than 200 students go missing and the government doesnt pull out all of the stops to get them back? Am I missing something? face2faceafrica/article/boko-haram-school-attack-2#.U1gfAVdFaO4
