‘Reunion Of Chibok Girls, A Milestone’

The Spokesperson of the Bring Back Our Girls Group, Mr Sesugh Akume, has said the reunion of 82 Chibok girls with their parents was a milestone.
Reacting to the reunion of the girls with their parents after about three years in captivity of Boko Haram insurgents in the North East, Akume said, yesterday, in Abuja, that the reunion rekindled joy and hope.
“The parents arrived at 6 a.m on Saturday. We spoke with some on the phone. They are ecstatic.
“The joy is unexplainable. We give kudos to the Federal Government for finally facilitating the meeting.
“We look forward to our 113 coming back, and reuniting with their families,” he said.
Akume lauded the efforts of the government, and appealed that the parents, who were still awaiting their daughters’ return, “get support and succour from the government and not be neglected’’.
So far, a total of 106 Chibok school girls, out of the 219 captured on the night of April 14, 2014, in Borno have been rescued in addition to more than 56 others who escaped from their captors shortly after the incident.
