Nigeria: It has been ten years since the mass abduction was conducted by the Islamist Militia Boko Haram insurgents who kidnapped 276 girls from their school in Chibok on April 14, 2014. It was a nightmare that will never fade away.
Nigerians wake up every morning to the dreadful thoughts, as they are still unaware of what happened to their sisters, mothers, nieces and other ladies.
Reportedly, the families of the victims still get haunted when they recall the horror of that day. To raise their voice against the mishappen, an activist campaign was formed, which is known as ‘Bring Back Our Girls’.
One of the members of the ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ campaign – Florence Ozor said on Sunday, April 14, 2024, in Abuja, “We demand that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Government take the responsibility and respond to the demands of the campaign.”
Ozor also called on the government to provide families with a detailed report on the rescue operations for their missing girls.
The incident has shocked the whole world and became and symbolised the brutal crackdown of Boko Haram in the West African country.
As per the sources, more than 100 young women are still missing today as most of them are probably in the hands of extremists yet.
As per the reports, Boko Haram, who are the rival jihadist militia Islamic State in West Africa (ISWA) keeps on spreading fear and terror in northern Nigeria.
This all has been going on since 2009, as the violence killed more than 40,000 people and more than 2M people have gone disappeared.
According to the data till now, the insurgents and criminal gangs use kidnapping as a way for ransom to raise money. The aid for the organisation ‘Save The Children’ made the revelations that more than 1,680 students were abducted from Nigerian Schools between the years 2014 and 2022.
Considering the open brutal case, the head of Kibaku ethnis group from Chibok – Daud Iliya said that the people were very disappointed by the failed approach of the government in Borno state.
The approach is considered as a failure because since 2014 the government was unable to find the abducted girls and refused to save all the girls, even after a decade has a passed.
Notably, the government has no interest in the matter, as it is clearly visible and it receives the security problems in the north-eastern Nigeria, especially in the Chibok region under control.
