Concerned Parents of Chibok Girls have appealed to President Bola Tinubu to help facilitate the release of 92 abducted girls still in Boko Haram’s captivity.
The parents made the appeal in a a letter issued on Monday by Yana Galang (mother to Rifkatu Galang still in captivity) and Zanna Lawan (father to Aisha Lawan still in captivity).
They also congratulated Tinubu and Kashim Shettima on their assumption of office as president and vice president respectively.
They begged the president to use his honourable office to help in releasing the remaining girls still in captivity.
“Mr. President, as you are well aware, our predicament started in 2014 when 276 of our daughters from Chibok Government Secondary School were abducted.
“It has been years of pain and agony for us and we are disheartened that nine years later and a few months before the end of the immediate past administration, 92 of these girls remain in Boko Haram captivity, subjected to unimaginable ordeal and abuse at the hands of their captors,” the parents said.
The parents, in the letter acknowledged that 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 subsequently sought Tinubu’s attention to beam a searchlight to the recovery of the remaining 92 of the kidnapped girls.
