4 Chibok Girls released

This certainly is a very cheering news.

Four out of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted
from Government Girls’ Secondary School,
Chibok, Borno State, have been released by the
Boko Haram.
The Chairman, Chibok Local government Council,
Mr. Bana Lawan, said on Wednesday that the
girls fell ill and were released by their captors.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Lawan
gave the information in Abuja at a one-day
stakeholders’ meeting for validation of draft
humanitarian response plan for the abducted
girls.
The meeting was organised by the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
He said the girls were released on Tuesday to
bring the number of those that had regained
their freedom to 57.
Lawan commended Nigerians for showing
concern and support for Chibok people, saying
the support had restored the hope and
aspiration of the people for the return of peace
to the community.
He also praised the Federal Government’s
prompt intervention through the provision of
relief items for the people.
He urged the government to resuscitate the
facilities destroyed by the insurgents and
improve security in the affected school to boost
the morale of the students.
Lawan explained that boys were encouraged to
attend GGSS in Chibok because of the lack of
education facilities in the area and appealed for
the construction of boys’ hostels in the school.
He said the construction of the hostels would
reduce the hardship faced by the students, who
attended school from afar.
