Buhari to Chibok girls’ parents: I share your pains

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured parents and relations of the kidnapped Chibok girls that he reflects on the ordeal of the captives in the hands of Boko Haram terrorists and shares the pain of their continued absence from home. As the parents marked the second anniversary of the kidnap of the girls yesterday, President Buhari affirmed that as a parent and leader of the country, he understands
the torment, frustration and anxiety of the parents and will not spare any effort to ensure the safe return of the girls. The President, in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said he believed that with the commitment of the Federal Government, the Nigerian Armed Forces and security agencies as well as the support of the international community, the girls will be eventually rescued.

He noted that thousands of persons, mostly women and children, who were kidnapped by Boko Haram, had already been rescued and reunited with their families.

He shared the hope of the parents that the girls will ultimately be rescued and reunited with their families.

Parents of some of the abducted 219 Chibok school girls wept yesterday at the school premises when they received a joint federal government and Borno State delegation that visited to mark the second anniversary of the abduction.

They read a poem to remember the girls and urged the government to release the report of the fact-finding panel set up by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
