Punch reports that ,4
more Chibok girls have escaped from Boko Haram. The Chairman of Chibok
Local Government, Mr Bana Lawan made this claim today May 28th at a
stakeholders meeting initiated by the National Emergency Manangement
Authority, NEMA, for the validation of draft humanitarian response plan
for the abducted girls in Abuja. Mr Lawan who was represented by the Director
of Personnel and Management, Musa Elijah said the number of girls that have
escaped have risen to 57
“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.”
He appealed to the Federal
Government and National Emergency Management Authority, NEMA, to help rebuild
the school. He said with the attack on the Chibok Girls Secondary School, girls
in the area are no longer eager to go to school.
