Four girls out of the 168 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, that were abducted by Boko Haram in April, have escaped.
The Chairman, Chibok Local Government Area, Mr. Bana Lawan, announced this on Tuesday in Abuja at a one-day stakeholders meeting for validation of draft humanitarian response plan for the abducted girls. The meeting was organised by the National Emergency Management Agency.
Lawan, who was represented by the Director for Personnel and Management, Mr. Musa Elijah, said the number of escapees had risen to 57 as against 53, while 164 girls were still held by the terrorist group.
He said, “The people of Chibok are anxiously waiting for the safe return of their children. Except for the unfortunate situation where two of the parents have passed on. They were known to have BP (blood pressure) issues, although I am not a medical expert, but they will not be opportuned to welcome back their daughters.
“Latest report reaching us is that instead of 53, those that have escaped are now 57 and those remaining are 164 and not 168 as before. This is out of the 221 girls that were abducted.”
Lawan explained that it was not all those who registered for the Senior School Certificate Examination in the school that stayed back.
“Those that registered for the SSCE are not all that sat for the exam. Over 500 registered and those who had relatives around decided to move to various places like Kaduna and Maiduguri to write the exams. Those that were left with no relations decided to stay back to take the risk and among them 221 were abducted.”
The chairman said the moral of the girl child in the North-East was low as most of them were discouraged.
“The school in particular has been existing for long and the quality of education in it has been diminishing. So I want to appeal to the Federal Government, through NEMA and the presidential committee, to intervene in rebuilding the school,” he added.
I expectsd more detail of the 4 girls that have escaped in terms of when and how. tell us more about their state of health and experience to be sure. but frankly I can't believe this story is true by mere going to abuja to say this or that.

ReplyDeleteI am surprised that four little girls could escape from BH. Whereas, our millitary even the US could not locate and rescue these girls. Hmmm. U people should tell us the truth of what is happening.
ReplyDeleteThe first commentator has said it all.
ReplyDeleteWe are waiting to hear about the faith of the abducted girls through the ones that escaped and you are here begging of rebuilding the school.
I don't know where this bullshit is coming from but I want to advise that you people should stop toying with people's feelings by the way you bring such stupid and uninformative/stale news to us.
Nonsense
We thanks Almighty Allah and looks up to Him for the other to be free.let those that are freed gives our security men some clues about their escaped and how they can get others free.

Let wait nd see hw much effort dey can contribute to d release of d girls,den we Nigerians wll knw wht to do.l knw our local security groups unlikes of d OPC nd others if giving a chance can help to rescue d girls 4rm d den of boko bastards.
ReplyDeleteNigeria has the poorest information management . Most unprofessional ! If the girls actually espcaped,why're broadcasting it ? 'Re u aware even the BH has access to this platform ? What do u want to happen to the rest of the girls ? Be wise !
ReplyDeleteGod help us o am tired of all dis
ReplyDeleteyou a right. We shld not expose d girls.some info shld be kept frm them.
ReplyDeleteCan this be truth. D writer should go straight and tell us the escape sorry that is what we want to hear and their state of health. Nothing short of that.
ReplyDeleteAll these conflicting information make me laugh out laud, it seems this Chibok girls kidnap will be the defining moment in Nigeria. One of the contributors earlier asked if the BH security men were sleeping when these 4 girls escaped? who are they he asked. I second that question. Is Chibok kidnap a PR stunt or is it politically motivated move to discredit the central government?
ReplyDeleteI dey laugh ooooooo,aboki them want to use our brain, hw dese girl manag escape frm Boko haram, frm de thick forest or governt house or frm high profile lodge, God help us to expose those behind dis act,
ReplyDeleteIt's a security issue, it must not be detailed, so people dnt expect detail on the escape. Infact, it is not suppose to be made public that few more girls has escaped, as it is, revealing the escape now put other girls in more danger.....Nigerianeye, stop this kind of news, its not a news until other girls are set free, for safety reason. People that want to hear detail lack security knowledge.
ReplyDeleteindeed I support you anonymous 8.47pm. escaped from govt house or high profile lodge.........?
ReplyDeleteI can assume now from what has been happening vis a vis the so call escaping of the girls in bits of threes, fours twos etc to say that the girls were not abducted after all. They were taken to away from their school by the proper arrangement of a very high profile syndicate of BORNO state Government and northern elders. These girls are comfortably being kept in mansions of the BH sponsors. Security should direct their search to private homes of wealthy northerners even out side BORNO state. I bet you these girls are not in the bush or even with the BH. They are being released in batches of twos and threes by their captor. Their abduction is organized conspiracy. The BIGS in the entire north endorsed the act. That's why the BH group seems invicible to our soldiers. None of the so called escaped girls can tell where she is coming out from because she would not know. But definitely not from sanbissa forest.
ReplyDeletebring back the girls you sent to sudan on scholarship gov. Shetima! those are the girls we want, as for the chibok girls... we can see the light, girls escaping without a story, liars!!!
