Shocking Revelation: Vice Principal Of Chibok School Fingered In The Kidnappings Of The Abducted Girls By Boko Haram

Parents of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted a year ago in the northeastern Nigerian town of Chibok have suggested that the vice principal (academic) of the school where the teenage girls were kidnapped was complicit in their kidnap.

According to reports by Nigeria’s online Tabloid,
Saharareporters reports that the parents claimed that the
role of the vice principal was at least questionable, adding
that their daughters were made vulnerable to Boko Haram
kidnappers.
A mother of one of the abducted girls, Mariam Abubakar,
stated that Vice Principal Yerima Banjiri had told the school
girls that any one of them who failed to sleep in the school
the night of the abduction would be expelled as a student of
Government Girls Secondary School Chibok.
According to her, “A week before their abductions, Malam
Yerima threatened the students not to leave for their
various homes. He said that whoever went home should
forget she was ever a student at the school. He told the girls
that none of them should go home, that they must sleep in
the school. However, none of the teachers’ daughters or
even the daughters of the management staff was among
those kidnapped. Only the children of we poor people were
asked to sleep in the school. The [teachers and
administrators] had kept their children in safer places
before Boko Haram arrived.”
The distraught mother accused the vice president and
possibly other staff of conniving with Boko Haram. “Our
concern is that since the day of [the girls’] abduction, we
have never set our eyes on Malam Yerima. He is on run,”
Ms Abubakar said.
A father of an abducted girl also criticized what he
characterized as the Federal Government’s approach of
levity in dealing with the abduction. “We have lost
confidence in the Nigerian government’s, reaction to our
missing children. Nobody asked any questions to the
teachers. In fact they are moving free in cities. Why has the
government not investigated any of the teachers??” he
asked.
One of the parents told SaharaReporters that they had been
warned not to speak about their suspicion of the vice
principal and other teachers and administrators. But
several of the parents and relatives of the abducted girls
said they had run out of patience after more than a year
since the abductions with little or no hope of their
daughters’ rescue.
