The fate of over 200 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram from their hostels at Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, northeast Nigeria, still hangs in the balance as the Islamist fighters have threatened to kill them if....
their parents do not stop the search for the girls.
One of the parents of the girls who disclosed this, said 200 of the parents had embarked on the search for the girls on motorcycles but were warned to stay away from Sambisa forest where Boko Haram has its camps or risk being killed along with the girls who were kidnapped on 14 April.
According to one of the parents, “We were over 200, but when we reached a point after crossing a rickety bridge, we were warned that though we were close to our daughters, any further advance would anger the suspected terrorists and they might kill us and our daughters. We had no option but to abandon the mission and return.”
The kidnapping came hours after the deadliest attack ever in Nigeria’s capital, a bomb blast at a crowded bus station in Nyanya that killed at least 75 people. Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau has claimed responsibility for that attack.
