Fifty-four girls have been
identified by parents and
guardians of abducted
schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno
State, North-East Nigeria.
Governor Kashim Shettima told ‘bring
back our girls’ protesters that the girls
were identified by their parents in a
video released on Monday by
members of the Boko Haram sect.
The Governor told the protesters at
the Borno Government Lodge in
Abuja that efforts were ongoing to
identify more of the girls.
He also announced that trauma
counselling would be provided for the
girls who escaped from their captors.
Nigerians asking the Government to
rescue the abducted schoolgirls in
Chibok, on Tuesday took their protest
to the Borno State Governor after a
march through
the streets of Asokoro.
Led by former Education Minister, Dr
Oby Ezekwesili, they told the
Governor the purpose of the visit and
in an interactive manner, members of
the ‘bring back our girls’ group sought
explanation on some issues.
Governor Kashim Shettima assured
them of his efforts to rescue the girls.
As the campaign for the safe return of
the abducted girls continues, members
of the group promised to push for
concrete efforts to rescue the
abducted girls.
