Ahmed Jaha, representative of Chibok-Domboa-Gwoza in the House of Representatives, has said that there are 87 Chibok girls being held captive by Boko Haram insurgents.
While praising the Federal Government for the recovery of some of the girls, Jaha pointed out that 87 Chibok girls had yet to regain their freedom.
On April 14, 2014, terrorists from Boko Haram assaulted and abducted 276 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok.
Upon leaping from the trucks carrying them, 57 schoolgirls managed to flee without any harm. In addition, the military has saved the lives of others.
Speaking on Saturday at an Abuja event organised to introduce the Chibok culture to kids and young people from the neighbourhood who had not had the opportunity to experience it because of the terrorists’ actions, Jaha commended all efforts being made to ensure that peace returns to Chibok
Jaha said, “I commend efforts being made to ensure peace returns to Chibok. We also have to commend the FG for recovering some of the Chibok girls but we still have 87 in captivity. We are happy with the way and manner peace has returned to some parts of Chibok but we are begging the FG to provide security where they are not present.”
