Saddened over the circumstance that surrounded the abduction of 110 female students of Government Girls Science Technical College, Dapchi, the apex northern socio-cultural group,  Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has called on the Federal Government to review the nation’s security architecture.

A statement issued on Tuesday by the National Publicity Secretary of the group, Muhammad Ibrahim Biu described the abduction as wicked and callous and similar to that of the Chibok girls which happened about four years ago.

The statement read in part: “ACF therefore calls on the Federal Government to review its security architecture especially in the Northeast zone by sustaining security surveillance and intelligence in order to avoid a repeat of the Dapchi episode.

“ACF shares the pains and trauma the parents of the girls, government and people of Yobe State and indeed Nigerians are going through and pray for their safe rescue and return to their parents soon.

“ACF urges the military and other security agencies to deploy all resources at their disposal including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to the rescue of the abducted girls.

“The blame game between the Yobe State government officials and the military on one hand and among security agencies on the other hand over this unfortunate incidence is unnecessary and unhelpful.

“All hands should therefore be on deck to ensure that the girls are rescued. The stories that the abducted girls were ferried across our borders or within some locations in Nigeria should not be ignored for possible links to the whereabouts of the girls.”
