Bukar, who represents the Bursari/Yunusari/Gaidam federal constituency, reportedly stated that the girls are in Bulabulin, Yunusari local government area.
In his words: “The girls are within Yobe. We have an idea that they are in Bulabulin, Yunusari local government.
“The military is aware that Boko Haram has been in that place for over four years. They live in that place like their own city.”
He continued: “I cannot blame the military because I am speaking with those that are carrying out the operation. We have been speaking and they are telling me everything that they are doing; so, I cannot say I will blame anybody in the military.
“They are doing everything but I think they need to improve in their search so as to rescue those girls.”
