This is coming as a parent of one of the girls still in captivity expressed hope of her daughter’s return.
The Vice-President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, has said that the Federal Government is working hard to ensure that the remaining Chibok girls are rescued.
Osinbajo said this in Lome, Togo, during the African Union Summit on Maritime Security and Safety and Development in Africa.
He said “We are working hard to bring back all
the girls who have been held in captivity by Boko Haram for so many
years, and we will keep praying also that we will be able to bring every
one of them back safely.”
According to Punch, Mrs. Esther Yakubu, mother of one
of the girls, who is still missing, has expressed hope that she will
see her daughter soon.
She said “I pray my daughter is among the next
batch of girls to be released because I can’t wait to hold her in my
arms again. My advice to the government is that they should give them
(Boko Haram) what they want so that they can release our girls to us.
“I don’t entertain any fear, I trust in God and I
know that the negotiation will go on as planned and by God’s grace,
there will be no problem, our daughters will be released to us soon.”
Meanwhile, the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) has accused President Buhari’s daughter, Hajiya Hadiza Buhari-Bello, of allegedly using the name of the group to raise funds on behalf of the Chibok girls.
