Distraught Chibok Parents To Jonathan: Fulfil Your Promise On Rescuing Our Daughters From Boko Haram

Some parents of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls on New Year’s Day recounted the kidnap of their children.

They wondered whether their daughters, who were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents on April 14, 2014 would ever return.

The parents, who met with the #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) group in Abuja on Thursday, expressed displeasure over the federal government’s inability to rescue their daughters from Boko Haram’s captivity.

Led by Rev. Mark Enoch, nine of the affected parents urged President Goodluck Jonathan to live up to the promise he made to them six months ago on the safe return of their daughters.

They, however, commended the BBOG campaigners for not allowing the issue of their daughters’ abduction to be swept under the carpet even as Rev. Enoch fingered the government in the entire saga.

An aggrieved mother, Mrs. Samuel Abana, said: “I want to remind the President of his promise. When he met with us; he promised to rescue our daughters, he said he would bring the girls back, but six months later, there is no result.

“Mr. President, will you fail to rescue them if your daughter was abducted? If you can’t do it alone, invite the United Nations to come and rescue our daughters”.

Another parent, Mr. Bulama Jonah, recounted how his daughter might have escaped been abducted.

He lamented: “the saddest thing is that my daughter was sent home because of N300 just a day before she was kidnapped. I gave her the money for her testimonial and she went back to school only to be abducted”.
