He promised that more troops and surveillance aircraft for a 24-hour surveillance of the area would be deployed in the entire territory on a 24-hour basis, in the hope that all the missing girls will be found.

“When I received the devastating news of the attack on the school and the fact that the local authorities could not account for all the students, I immediately dispatched a high-level delegation on a fact-finding visit to the town, he said.
