Leadership of the Chibok community
group, Kibaku Area Development
Association, Abuja Chapter, has
denied that it received any pecuniary
incentive from the Presidency on
account of the missing Chibok girls.
In a statement by the spokesperson
of the group, Dauda Ilya, the group
said the claim that the leadership of
the group received N100 million
from the Presidency was “false
malicious and unfounded.”
The group explained that it only
offered, as a community
association that represented the
Chibok people in Abuja, to facilitate
the visit of parents of the abducted
girls and 51 of the 57 that escaped.
It added that it helped make that
visit possible despite their
misgivings that it was a poor
substitute to their expectation that
Mr. President should have visited
Chibok even before the visit of their
people for a tragedy that is now 107
days old.
Explaining the role of the
association in facilitating the visit,
the group said it spelt out its
responsibilities in facilitating the
meeting of the Chibok girls and
parents with President Jonathan
and that there was never a point it
demanded any financial
compensation.
“When the Presidency requested us
to invite parents and escaped
Chibok girls against 22nd July,
2014, we accepted the responsibility
on the condition that we shall
facilitate by way of contacting and
mobilising the parents and escaped
girls, thereby playing the sole role of
facilitators.”
