Dapchi girls in hospital for treatment, says parent, Military

The rescued Dapchi schoolgirls are now in the General Hospital in Dapchi and are awaiting profiling by the military.

A parent of one of the girls, Ali Abdullahi, said that all the girls were in their various homes now.

‘’Immediately the insurgents dropped them from the truck that they were brought in around 8 a.m., the girls all ran home.

“Now, the Army told us to bring them to the hospital for checking.

“As you can see some of the parents are not willing to let their daughters out of their sight. But the Army are insisting,’’ he said.

Vehicles have been stationed at the hospital to convey the girls to Damaturu.

Most of the girls at the hospital looked malnourished and wore Hijab (Islamic head and body cover).
