Nearly 50 girls have been captured by the militant group Boko Haram on Monday, February 19 in Dapchi, a suburb of Yobe State in Nigeria.

The aftermath of the attack saw many teachers and students who had run to seek refuge in the bush return unharmed, although about 50 of the students were nowhere to found.

Former President John Dramani Mahama has written on his twitter handle expressing a worried mood at the act by the Boko Haram

He wrote,

Not again! Boko Haram terrorist group abducts girls from school in Dapchi Village, Yobe State. We pray with Nigeria for their safe recovery. — John Dramani Mahama (@JDMahama) February 25, 2018

The incident comes a few months after almost 200 girls from Chibok were reunited with their families, having been captured by the same militant group years ago.
