The Federal Government has confirmed that 110 students were kidnapped after suspected Boko Haram terrorists invaded the Government Girls Science Technical College (GGSTC) in Yobe State.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, gave the figure on Sunday while addressing reporters in the state.
There have been conflicting figures of the abducted girls since suspected members of the outlawed group stormed the school on Monday last week.
The attack sparked mixed reactions in the country while President Muhammadu Buhari sent a delegation to the school to ascertain the situation there and report back to him.
Barely four days after the first visit, Mr Mohammed a delegation of the Federal Government to the state to meet with the State Governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, as well as representatives of the Dapchi community and security agencies.
He told reporters that the meeting which held behind closed doors was also attended by the Local Government Chairman and all the relevant stakeholders to get a first-hand information and progress report on the abduction.
The minister explained that school population stood at 906 and after headcount, 110 girls were confirmed to have been abducted from the school.
