More than 200 schoolgirls are still missing after they were abducted last week by suspected Islamist militants in the northeastern Nigerian state of Borno, according to the school principal.
“The total number of missing students now stands at 230,” Asabe Kwambura, the principal of the state-run Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, said by phone yesterday. Two days ago the authorities in Borno said in a statement they were looking for 77 girls.
