The #BringBackOurGirls movement has said that it is unfortunate that the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government is winding down without fulfilling his promise of rescuing all the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.

The BBOG on Thursday in a release to mark the ninth year anniversary of the abducted schoolgirls recalled how Buhari at the Eagle’s Square on May 29, 2015, said, “We cannot claim to have defeated Boko Haram without rescuing the Chibok girls and all other innocent persons held hostage by insurgents.”

On April 14, 2014, the Boko Haram terrorists abducted 276 schoolgirls from Government Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State, in an incident which attracted global attention.

The BBOG movement noted on Thursday in its release that “Our hearts remain broken at the failure to close this shameful chapter in our country’s history as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari in his address to the nation in 2015 and various times subsequently.

“The last report we received on the status of the Chibok Girls in October 2022 is as follows: 276 Abducted; 57 escaped; 107 released; 16 rescued (by the Military) and 96 still missing.

“We are equally distressed to learn that after a successful campaign by our gallant military in the last two years when they liberated thousands of people including over 12 girls – now women – and handed them over to the Borno State Government, our daughters and sisters remain in the custody of the State and have not been properly reunited with their families or back in control of their lives now that they are out of the hands of the terrorists. Have our girls escaped one form of captivity only to spend 6 months to one and a half years in a different form of captivity? What crime have they committed? Why are survivors of unimaginable trauma being treated this way?

“We appeal and demand that the President fulfils his promise to his daughters from Chibok, to Leah Sharibu, his daughter from Dapchi and other victims of insurgency, bandits and kidnappers and rescue them before his term of office ends on May 29, 2023. The rescue and rehabilitation of our daughters whose education was interrupted and the restoration of peace in their communities will be an undeniable legacy of President Buhari’s administration.

“Our Nine Demands at 9 years; Bring back our girls before May 29, 2023. A push to finally defeat Boko Haram, ISWAP, and liberate all our citizens

“Accountability from the Borno State Government. A full report and debriefing for the parents on the status, academic plans and wishes of the rescued girls, women and children in their custody.

“Provide closure for parents on the fate of their daughters who they have reason to believe are dead. Psycho-social support for Chibok and other conflict-affected families of abducted students to address the trauma to families; equipping and completion of their education, shelter, and empowerment to earn a living.

“Equip and motivate the police and armed forces and see to their welfare and proper care for the families of officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Reinvest in the Victims Support Fund (VSF) to care for the practical needs of all returned and rescued girls, siblings and family members of girls. The federal government has seemingly abandoned VSF to the management of one generous citizen.

“Public statement on the Missing Persons Register and immediate reopening of a properly resourced and staffed Missing Persons Desk at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Report on the coordinated provision of security for schools – primary, secondary, and higher education at local, state and federal levels.

“Status report on the Safe Schools Initiative and adequate financing to ensure its effectiveness. BBOG will commemorate 9 years since the abduction as follows:Friday 14th April, 4:30pm – 5:30pm WAT, Unity Fountain, Abuja; Chibok Community (KADA) Media Conference.”

The assailants stormed Sabon Layi town on Wednesday morning, shooting sporadically, a Birnin Gwari resident told BBC Hausa.

The resident told the outlet that the gunmen had been seen the previous day moving freely around the community but nobody knew their mission until they struck at about 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

According to the resident, nine people were killed, four of whom are members of the vigilante group members. No fewer than twenty five people were also abducted alongside a large number of cattle and sheep.

The Kaduna State government said Air Force jets had already been dispatched to survey the area in collaboration with other security operatives who are in pursuit of the bandits.

Fleeing gunmen have killed an Inspector of police in Imo State identified as Augustine Ukegbu.

Ukegbu was killed at his village at Umuoshike Ogbor in the Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of the state when he went home to celebrate Easter with his family, several police sources confided in our correspondent.

One of the sources, who doesn’t want to be mentioned because he does not have the official clearance to speak on the matter, told our correspondent that the inspector was kidnapped from his house upon his arrival from his base in Owerri and was later found dead in a bush along Mbutu in the Aboh Mbaise LGA.

The source said, “Inspector Augustine Ukegbu who was serving at Orji police divisional headquarters went home to celebrate Easter with his family at Aboh Mbaise. Around 11 pm, on April 8, some gunmen riding in a Lexus jeep came and kidnapped him from his house in the village.

“The abduction was reported at Oke Ovoro police Division. The jeep he was kidnapped with was later found abandoned along the Mbutu Road in Aboh Mbaise. Policemen visited the scene and the surrounding bush was searched and the inspector’s corpse was found.”

The source said that the inspector’s corpse had been deposited in a mortuary in the area by some police operatives and the Lexus jeep he was kidnapped in was recovered by his colleagues.

Another source, who was embittered by the killing of the cop, said that he saw the slain inspector in Owerri the day he was travelling to the village.

He said, “[b]I saw Inspector Augustine in Owerri and he told me he was travelling to celebrate Easter with his family at Mbaise. We exchange pleasantries and I wished him journey mercy. He was serving at Orji police divisional and had served at the headquarters in Owerri. He was an operative of SWAT ( Special Weapons and Tactics) Department.[/b]I am saddened by his death.

The spokesperson for the police in the state, Henry Okoye, said that the command had commenced an investigation into the kidnap and killing of the Inspector.

The assailants escaped with the rifle of the slain policeman.

Police spokesman in Lagos State, SP Benjamin Hundeyin told journalists that three other police operatives were seriously injured in the attack.

Operatives of the Imota Police Division in the Ikorodu area were on patrol duty when they came under the assailants’ attack at Emuren Junction, on Itokin Road in the area.

Local sources said the assailants, suspected errand boys of land grabbers, ambushed the police patrol team, opened fire on it, killed one on the spot and escaped with his rifle.

“On Saturday, police raided cultists’ hideouts in Emuren, Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun,’’ a resident said.

Many innocent people had fallen victim to gun attacks by agents of land grabbers in Ikorodu and its environs in the past.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said the incoming administration must explore all avenues at ending ethnic division that emanated from the 2023 general elections.

Obasanjo stated this while speaking at a conference, themed, “From Elections to Governance and Performance,” organised by Nextier and the Ibadan School of Governance and Public Policy in Abuja on Thursday.

The former president noted that with challenges facing the country, he is now “too old to keep quiet,” stating that he would continue to voice concerns for the benefit of the nation.

He noted that the incoming government must work to facilitate national moral rearmament and reconciliation, following the divisiveness occasioned by the just concluded general elections.

According to Obasanjo, the move has the potential to bring about healing and to assuage Nigerian youths who were angered by the shortcomings of the elections.

He said governance in Nigeria now required thinking outside the box, to rescue the nation, in terms of its plunging economy and huge national debt burden, adding that there must also be the political will and action, as well as administrative efforts, to reform the public service, and turn it into a capability-ready unit.

It was a sad day for men of Lagos State Police Command today, as a yet-to-be-identified policeman was allegedly killed by commercial motorcyclists, commonly known as okada riders, on the Apapa-Oshodi expressway.

According to a motorcyclist named Rasheed, the policeman had shot at an okada rider, but the bullet did not penetrate.

The okada rider then allegedly retaliated by macheting the police officer.

Rasheed said: “For a long time, police have been disturbing okada riders on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.

“So today (Wednesday), some policemen took area boys with them to assist in chasing the bike men.

“Some of the okada riders resisted and fought with the area boys in anger, while carrying cutlasses which led to the police officer sporadically shooting at the motorcyclists.

“When the bullet failed to penetrate, one of the okada riders allegedly used a machete to attack the police officer.”

When Vanguard arrived the scene, there were no motorcyclists in sight, as everyone had fled the area after the incident.

A trader, who witnessed the incident, also claimed that the riders were seen carrying objects such as cutlasses, sticks, and iron rods as they fled from the police and the area boys to avoid arrest.

Efforts to reach the Lagos State Police spokesman proved abortive as his phone number was unreachable at the time of filing this report.
