CHIBOK GIRLS



Still Missing, But Not Forgotten…

Exactly two years ago, the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram, abducted 276 girls from their school, Government Secondary School in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State.
Although 57 of them managed to escape from their abductors and found their way back home, 219 others have remained in captivity, with the federal government still searching for their whereaboTwo years on, it is an unfortunate national embarrassment that not one of the 219 Chibok schoolgirls has been found by the federal government and its security agencies. As President Muhammadu Buhari put it in his only media chat since assuming office last year, there is no credible intelligence on the whereabouts of the schoolgirls. This statement made by the president about five months ago, would ordinarily have foreclosed any hope that the girls stood a chance of making it back home safe and alive.uts.
