Nigeria's missing girls: a father speaks out

Authorities in Nigeria have insisted no stone would be left unturned in the search for more than a hundred missing girls, after suspected Boko Haram militants attacked their school in Dapchi in the North East of the country. President Muhammadu Buhari has described the abduction as a national disaster. Kachalla Bukar is the father of one of the girls who have been kidnapped. He spoke to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Newsday. We've voiced over his answers because of the poor quality of the telephone line.
