Some of the students abducted school girls from Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe state, have been taken to Niger Republic, according to a report in Daily Trust.
Quoting a source, the newspaper said the girls were split into two groups; with some kept in Borno state.
The Musa Albarnawi faction of Boko Haram is suspected of being behind the kidnap. The Albarnawi faction is loyal to the Islamic State of West Africa.
The group was responsible for the kidnap of some University of Maiduguri lecturers who were conducting an oil research in Borno state last year.
The newspaper mentioned the location where the girls are reportedly kept.
“The girls ferried across a shallow river and are held in the border town of Duro in Niger Republic,” the source was quoted to have said.
“The second batch has been moved to Tumbun Gini area of Abadam LGA of Borno.”
