Parents of Chibok schoolgirls
still held in Boko Haram den have have written President Muhammadu Buhari over
his “silence” concerning the fate of their missing daughters.
In a letter addressed to the
President, the parents lamented that 20 of them had died while waiting for the
return of their girls.
According to the letter dated
November 12 and sent to the President, the parents jointly demanded the
whereabouts and latest information about their daughters.
Parts of the letter read, “When
the 21 girls were rescued, we begged to be part of the reunion so we could hear
about our missing daughters, but, we were denied that opportunity.
“Again, when the 82 came home, we
were so happy knowing very well that we could meet them and hear about our
daughters, even if they are dead, so we could bring this to closure.
“Again, we were denied the chance
to meet them, till today.
“We have been travelling to ask
our local leaders to hear from them but no one seems interested in briefing us
about any effort or action by the federal government, to secure the release of
our daughters. We feel neglected.
“When government promised to secure
the release of the girls, repeatedly, we thought it won’t be long after the 82
girls were rescued, having seen how possible that was.
“Right now, we are hopeless and
more traumatised than before because, it seems the successes recorded are now
considered as closure since no one is paying any attention to our grief.
“We want government to deal
directly with parents of the missing girls, let us know what next.
“Do not stop us from meeting the
rescued girls, we could hear words of comfort from our daughters, through them,
and to know whether they are alive or not; for us to know the next step.
“We have lost 20 of the parents,
we don’t want to lose any one of us in this situation again.
“Please, respond to our call.”
THE PARENTS ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE DUPED FOR MERE GARRI. THEY ARE HARVESTING SAND.
