The Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, said he has no information on the release of the last Dapchi school girl, Leah Sharibu.
He said the online news platforms and conventional media misunderstood and misquoted him as a result of the already released Dapchi School girls expected back home in Yobe State today.
Reacting to media reports quoting him as saying the withheld Christian girl, Sharibu, will be released yesterday March 24th, the Nigerian police force released an official statement.

The statement reads,
RE: RELEASE OF LAST DAPCHI SCHOOL GIRL
· IGP MISQUOTED
The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to the publication on some Social Media platform and conventional media indicating that the Inspector General of Police said the last Dapchi school girl will be released soon.
2. The Statement of the IGP was misunderstood and misquoted. The misunderstanding may be as a result of the already released Dapchi School girls expected back home in Yobe State today but could not arrive due to weather condition. The IGP could not also proceed to Dapchi because of same weather condition.
3. The Force wishes the members of the public and the media disregard the purported statement as not what the IGP meant.
4. The Force, therefore, reiterates that it has no information yet on the release of the last Dapchi school girl.
5. This release should be taken as the true position of the IGP’s statement.
6. The media are hereby enjoined to correct their records and publication, please.
