RELEASE OF LAST DAPCHI SCHOOL GIRL:  IGP WAS MISQUOTED

The Nigeria Police Force said that the attention of the force has been drawn to publications on some social media platforms and the conventional media indicating that the Inspector General of Police said the last Dapchi school girl will be released soon.

In a release, ACP Jimoh Moshood –
Force Public Relations Officer posited that the statement of the IGP was misunderstood and misquoted. He said that the misunderstanding may be as a result of the already released Dapchi School girls were expected back home in Yobe State but could not arrive due to the weather condition. ACP Moshood hinted that the IGP could not also proceed to Dapchi because of same weather condition.

The Force enjoins members of the public and the media to disregard the purported statement as it was not what the IGP meant. The Force therefore reiterates that it has no information yet on the release of the last Dapchi school girl and that should be taken as the true position of the IGP’s statement.

Media outfits are hereby advised to correct their records and publications in that regard.
