Chibok girls: Seven years in captivity
On
Kindly Share This Story:
WEDNESDAY, April 14, 2021 marked the seventh year since the first school abductions by violent extremists, Boko Haram, took place in a girls secondary school in Chibok, Borno State.
In all, 276 girls were swept off to captivity. But after some of them escaped while some were successfully freed through negotiations and alleged ransom payments, there are still officially 112 students in the terrorists’ den.
The outrage it sparked gave birth to the #BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, campaign which gained universal traction when former US First Lady, Michelle Obama, joined the call for their immediate, safe rescue.

The grieving parents reminded the President of the promise he made to them through a phone call that their daughter would be rescued, stating that, it has been over two years since you made that promise.

BREAKING: Bandits finally release Kagara schoolboys
On
To be received in Minna later
Bandits have finally released the abducted Kagara Government Science College students, their teachers and family members.
They were released in the early hours of today (Saturday).
Our Correspondent reliably gathered that the abductees are on their way to Minna and should be in the Niger State capital in a couple of hours.
The Chief Press Secretary, Mary Noel-Berje, when contacted said though she heard about the release but that she has not been officially informed.
Trying to play safe, she said: “I heard about the release but I have not been officially informed because there are still some challenges. It is when they finally arrive here in Minna and received by Governor Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello before we really believe and celebrate,” she remarked.
