President Muhammadu Buhari has approved an investigation into the abduction of the 219 girls from Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State.
The panel to investigate the incident that happened in April 2014, according to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, would soon be named by the National Security Adviser (NSA) General Babagana Munguno.
The probe will seek, among other things, to unravel the remote and immediate circumstances leading to the kidnap of the girls by Boko Haram terrorists and other events, actions and inactions that followed the incident.
The President gave the directive in Abuja as he assured parents of the Chibok girls that he had been doing his best and would continue to do everything to rescue them and re-unite them with their families.
He spoke during a meeting attended by some parents of the abducted girls, representatives of the Chibok community and members of the #Bring Back Our Girls movement at the Conference Hall of the State House.
Buhari said he remained committed to his pledge to save the girls.
He said: “I assure you that I go to bed and wake up every day with the Chibok girls on my mind.”
