The Kibakwu community have reacted to the news of the escape of some Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists from a Government Secondary School Borno, in 2014.
The community members also raised concern that the purported escape of the girls was only a fluke which has raised and dashed their hopes at the same time.
Kibakwu is a community in Chibok local government area of Borno State, Northeast Nigeria.
A member of the Kibakwu Association, Bulus Abana told DAILY POST in Maiduguri, that their hopes were raised when the news of the girls’ escape filtered in.

One of the more than 100 schoolgirls who remain missing since their abduction from the Nigerian town of Chibok by the Boko Haram terror group in 2014 has escaped her captors, and her family is rejoicing while awaiting her return after seven long years.
Halima Ali Maiyanga was 15 when she was kidnapped. She’s returning home as a 22-year-old woman.
“Halima was in tears. She told us she was with the military and needed some clothes because she had nothing,” her brother, Muhammad Maiyanga, who spoke to Halima on the phone, told The Wall Street Journal. “We never thought we’d see her again.”
Several remaining missing Chibok schoolgirls escape from Boko Haram
Some of the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram nearly seven years ago have finally escaped from their captors, a father of one of the girls told CNN.
Halima Ali Maiyanga, one of more than 100 young women still missing, called her father to say she and others had managed to flee Boko Haram militants Thursday.
“She asked me. Is this my daddy? Is this my daddy, and she started crying. The crying was [so] much and I couldn’t hear her very well. I was crying too. I never expected to hear from her again,” Ali Maiyanga said.
