Released Chibok Girls Claim They Stayed Without Food For One Month, 10 Days by bumi10(m): 6:32pm On Oct 16, 2016
Almost everybody in Nigeria are happy over the release of few Chibok girls few days ago. However, things are still unfolding as the govt. have learnt recently that the 21 freed Chibok Girls on Sunday in Abuja said for “one month and 10 days’’ of their abduction by the Boko Haram insurgents they stayed without food in the bush.

Ms Gloria Dame, one of the rescued girls, narrated this while giving testimony on behalf of her colleaques at a thanks giving service organised for them at a DSS health facility in Abuja. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, and Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Jummai Alhassan, attended the service.

The girl, who spoke in Hausa language, said that their survival in captivity was an act of God. “I did not know that a day like this will come that we will be dancing and giving thanks to God among people. “For one month and 10 days we stayed without food. I narrowly escaped bomb blast in the forest.

“We are praying to God to touch the heart of Boko Haram to repent and we are calling on Nigerians to pray and fast for the release of our remaining ones in captivity,’’ she said. Reports says that while the service was going on, the parents of the freed girls arrived the venue and were reunited with their loved ones after over two years of their abduction.

With the arrival of the parents the environment was charged with emotion and tears of joy. NAN reports that the parents took turn to address the congregation and thanked President Muhammadu Buhari and all Nigerians for their efforts and prayers towards the rescue of their daughters. The Chairman of Chibok Local Government Council, Mr Yaga Yarakawa, said the release of the girls was “historic’’ and the Chibok community at home and in the Diaspora were happy about the development.

Yarakawa said contrary to views of some Nigerians, the 21 freed girls were the actual Chibok Secondary School girls kidnapped by Boko Haram. “Before their abduction, I was involved in supervising their feeding which was organised by the Borno State Secondary Schools Feeding System. So I know them very well. “These are the real girls and you can see when their parents came, you see their joy, it manifest naturally.

In security performance evaluation, pmb has performed better than jonathan likewise in corruption. Anybody with good reasoning will certainly accept this but those born of hatred will never accept. Am sure before ending of next year, pmb will exceed all PDP past president in term of infra structural development. Economy will soon bounce back by his grace. Also, our prayer is for all the remaining chibok girls to come back safely.
