Nigeria has deployed extra troops and planes to search for 110 schoolgirls believed to have been abducted by Boko Haram militants last week.<\/p>\n
The girls went missing after jihadists stormed their school in the town of Dapchi in the north-eastern Yobe state on 19 February.<\/p>\n
President Muhammadu Buhari said it was a “national disaster” and apologised to the girls’ families.<\/p>\n
The attack has revived memories of the Chibok schoolgirl abduction in 2014.<\/p>\n
