The terrorists had been after something else before they decided to also kidnap the students. A report by the Wall Street Journal has revealed that the infamous abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls carried out by terrorist group, Boko Haram, in 2014 was an accident.According to the report, the terrorists had invaded the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok to steal the school’s brickmaking machine and not to kidnap the students.The terrorists reportedly only kidnapped the girls because they had no idea what to do with them after securing the machine, and decided to take them to their leader, Abubakar Shekau.The report read, “The night of the attack, when the girls emerged in the courtyard, they could see the men were not soldiers. They wore unkempt beards, flip-flops and tattered uniforms. Several were raiding the school cafeteria, stealing sacks of rice, beans and pasta. Others poured gasoline on the school to torch it.”Boko Haram had not come to abduct the students.
