Bad News For Remaining Chibok Girls Rescue

The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement has been advocating for the release of the girls.
President Muhammadu Buhari, in his statement to mark the three years abduction of the Chibok girls, had pledged that his administration would do everything possible to ensure their freedom.

The minister, a retired brigadier general, told the VOA’s Hausa service, monitored in Yola yesterday, that the military was committed to finding the girls and was combing Boko Haram hideouts in the Sambisa forest, a vast area covering parts of three states in North-eastern region.

He compared the inability to find the girls despite retaking most of the territory initially occupied by Boko Haram to the United States’ efforts to find Osama bin Laden after the invasion of Afghanistan.
“It took the US up to seven, eight, up to 10 years before they could get to bin Laden. We are continuing our campaign in the Sambisa forest in all its nooks and crannies,” he said.

Meanwhile, rights lawyer, Abdu Bulama Bukar has called on the Federal Government to address the psychological trauma suffered by the families of the missing girls and other victims of Boko Haram brutality.

“Married women have been made single again; kids have been orphaned; homeowners are without shelter; Nigerians have been turned into refugees in their own homeland,” he said.
