Why parents, escapee girls avoided Jonathan
Doubts over their true identities
Details have emerged on how the #BringBackOurGirls’s campaigners stage-
managed last week’s meeting between the purported parents, Chibok girls and
Pakistani child rights activist, Yousafzai Malala in Abuja.
Investigation by Nigerian Pilot showed the actual parents of schoolgirls who
were kidnapped in Chibok, Borno State on April 14 this year did not attend the
meeting.
Security operatives, who spoke on the chain of events leading to the aborted
meeting of the parents and escapee girls with President Goodluck Jonathan last
Tuesday, declared that the organisers of the meeting with Malala knew that they
had questions to answer over the “parents” of the girls they paraded in Abuja.
They said this accounted for the evasion of the “parents” meetings with
President Jonathan and other Federal Government officials.
The sources said that even the so-called parents of the escapee girls from Boko
Haram’s den knew that they would run into trouble hence they avoided meeting
with the President.
The operatives also queried motives of the leading members of the
#BringBackOurGirls campaign who influenced the abortion of the meeting which
could have helped in the rehabilitation of some of the girls.
It would be recalled that after a meeting with Malala at the Presidential Villa,
President Jonathan agreed to meet with parents of the abducted girls and some
of the female students who allegedly escaped from the insurgents’ camp.
The meeting could not hold as neither the parents nor the escapee girls
honoured the invitation, forcing its cancellation by the Presidency; a situation
that raised suspicions that the parents and girls being paraded by the
campaigners might not be the real victims.
It was gathered that Malala was so heartbroken when she learnt that the meeting
was aborted by the group. According to our sources, shortly before Malala
departed, she met with Ezekwesili for close to 40minutes and tried to convince
her on the need for the girls and the parents to meet with President Jonathan.
The source said: “For about 40 minutes, Malala argued with Ezekwesili but the
former education minister insisted there was no need for it. Malala nearly missed
her flight on Air France. The flight had to be delayed. When she could not
convince her, she asked the Director of Administration of her Foundation, Eason
Jordan to wait behind in Abuja, but it did not work.”
This is further strengthened by the fact that those who have the actual custody
of the girls who had so far escaped from captivity denied knowledge of the
movement of their children to Abuja.
These incidents have raised suspicion about the real motives of the
campaigners, especially in view of a recent declaration by a United Kingdom
Public Relations consultant, Burson Marsteller that it was contacted by some
leaders of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, to facilitate a visit by
the #BringBackOur Girls movement to the United States of America and the
United Kingdom.
According to sources, Borno State government and the leadership of the group
had persistently prevailed on the parents of the Chibok girls, as well as those
who escaped from captivity, not to honour several invitations in the last couple
of weeks.
The sources claimed that efforts of the Borno State Commissioner of Police, the
Chief of Defence Staff, as well as the Presidential Fact-finding Committee to have
a one-on-one meeting with the parents of 219 girls who are still missing were
rebuffed at various times in the recent past.
The General Sabo-led fact-finding committee in its report submitted to the
President recently, expressed frustrations over the missing girls’ parents’ refusal
to meet with it after several efforts including a guarantee of privacy and
adequate security.
According to a member of the committee, “the excuse given by the parents for
refusing to honour our invitation for a meeting was fear of reprisal by the
insurgents. We chose a very private location and shut out the media, yet they
wouldn’t show up. How then do you put faces to the names of affected parents
and work out plans for assuaging their emotional trauma?”
On the aborted meeting with the President, a security chief wondered why
parents who would not honour the invitation of government agencies and the
Presidency, found time to meet with Malala and grant interviews with the foreign
media without fear of reprisals from the Boko Haram members.
The questions on the minds of many observers are whether Malala was fooled by
the #BringBackOurGirls movement.
Over three months ago, over 280 students of Government Girls Secondary
School, Chibok, Borno State were abducted from their school premises and taken
hostage by Boko Haram insurgents. While about 50 of them have reportedly
escaped from their abductors, others are still being held in an undisclosed area,
which has elicited global concerns.
