Three other meetings were held between 11am and 4:15pm with the school authorities and security agents.
The security agencies may have identified the abductors’ location and that teams of military personnel, the police and the Department of State Service, DSS, and the local vigilante group, known as Oyabo, have been deployed to the area.
Parents and teachers have also intensified prayers for the release of the girls.
Some parents who spoke on condition of anonymity, blamed the management of the school for inadequate security, stating that on various occasions, the management was advised to raise the fence at the School of Science and Technology, but the suggestion was ignored.
