President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians the schoolgirls from the Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, and all other abducted persons by insurgent groups would be rescued safely.
Buhari gave the assurance during a meeting with three rescued lecturers of University of Maiduguri and the 10 Police Officers’ wives at the presidential villa, Abuja.
