Chibok schoolgirls: Parents beg Tinubu to facilitate release of 92 pupils in captivity…

Concerned parents of Chibok schoolgirls have appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to help facilitate the release of 92 abducted girls still in Boko Haram’s captivity.

The parents made the appeal in a letter they jointly issued yesterday through Yana Galang (mother to Rifkatu Galang still in captivity) and Zanna Lawan (father to Aisha Lawan still in captivity).

They also congratulated President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima on their assumption of office on May 29.

The concerned parents begged the President to help in releasing the remaining schoolgirls still in captivity.

In the letter, the parents acknowledged President Tinubu in his inaugural speech, despite not making a direct pledge particularly regarding their plight in Chibok, pledged to make security a top priority.

They urged the President to beam a searchlight to the recovery of the remaining 92 of the kidnapped girls.

According to the parents, former President Muhammadu Buhari, in his inaugural speech on May 29, 2015, said his administration could not claim to have defeated Boko Haram without rescuing Chibok girls.

They added that on April 14, 2021, a statement, titled: Chibok Girls Still On Our Minds, was released to further remind them of the former President’s promise and reassured them that all their girls would be rescued and reintegrated into their communities.
