The Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Mrs Abike Dabiri-Arewa has debunked tweeting the release of 333 Schoolboys that were abducted from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina state.
Dabiri-Erewa said she briefly lost control of her twitter account from where the viral tweet emanated from, Thursday afternoon.
The now deleted tweet read: “Yaay, the 333 boys captured in katsina have been rescued. Alhamdulillah!
“Buhari administration has brought back our boys. BringBackOurBoys. Our boys are back.”
Minutes later, Dabiri tweeted to disclaim the tweet, noting her twitter and Instagram handles were hacked:
Pls don’t credit any post on katsina boys to my twitter handle. I lost control of my handle in the last couple of minutes, along with my Instagram. I have recovered and changed my password

This comes as Boko Haram had earlier released a video on Thursday showing the abducted Kankara schoolboys.
The number of missing students remains unclear, though military spokesman General John Enenche and the Katsina state Governor had said the 333 students were unaccounted for after heavily armed gunmen raided the all-boys Government Science Secondary School, Kankara.
The armed bandits terrorising the northwest had initially claimed responsibility for the attack, however, Boko Haram has now claimed it carted away the boys in its new video.
