Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara,
has asked security agencies to take responsibility for failing to stop the
abduction of 110 schoolgirls in Dapchi, Yobe State, adding that the buck
passing between the Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Police Force is unacceptable.
In a press statement issued by his Special Adviser, Media and
Public Affairs, Turaki Hassan, the Speaker said rather than trade blames, the
various security agencies should strengthen inter-agency collaboration and
intensify efforts towards rescuing the girls.
“The statements credited to the Army and the Police in which
they tried to exonerate themselves from any culpability in the unfortunate and
embarrassing abduction of innocent girls from their school in Dapchi , Yobe State,
is highly condemnable.
“This is unacceptable and the House of Representatives, and
indeed Nigerians, will hold the security agencies responsible. They all bear
responsibility for this unfortunate incident,” the statement noted.
Dogara said the traumatic experience of the Chibok abduction,
which is still fresh in the minds of citizens should have serve as a warning
signal to security agencies to provide adequate security protection to all schools in the North East.
He thus used the medium to console the parents of the
abducted girls and the entire Dapchi community over this unfortunate incident.
He also urge all Nigerians and people of goodwill from all
over to pray for the safe return of the girls.
