Because they became valuable as assets for Boko to extract concessions from the govt in negotiation

If they were badly taken care of....Boko won't have been able to even make headway in the negotiations ....



You think say it is THAT easy to talk about such an experience?

One Sierra Leonean teenager who was kidnapped by the RUF and forced to become a child soldier.....When asked to describe his experices one year after being freed from the RUF he started talking, thenbroke down in tears....he could not continue.The journalist asking him questions ended the interview there and then.

if dey will cry during interview let dem cry also. Will crying kill someone

If you believe Chibok Girls abduction is a scam, please donate your daughters and sisters to Asari Dokubo , Tompolo, Niger Delta militants and Kidnappers of SE to discredit PMB's Govt too.

If the abduction was a scam, the killing at Odi was concocted and a scam and alleged killing of 3m Osus is a greater scam.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the Released Chibok Girls

---

1. How many girls have been freed so far?

---

One hundred and six (106) of the abducted Chibok school girls have so far found freedom. 21 were freed by Boko Haram in October 2016, and 82 in May 2017. Three girls escaped individually, in May 2016, November 2016 and January 2017 respectively. In addition to the girls there are 4 babies, also in the care of the Government. All 4 babies belong to mothers within the batch of 21 girls.

2. What do we know about the 82 girls most recently freed?

---

The 82 girls were safely released by Boko Haram to the Department of State Services (DSS) on Saturday May 6, 2017, in Borno State — after a lengthy series of negotiations involving local and international stakeholders. The International Committee of the Red Cross acted as neutral intermediaries for the handover of the girls from Boko Haram to the Nigerian Government. The 82 girls were flown to Abuja on Sunday May 7, 2017. They met with President Buhari that day.

3. Were the girls swapped for Boko Haram fighters?

---

Yes. The Federal Government disclosed this as soon as the girls were released. Please note that President Buhari has repeatedly stated his readiness to swap fighters for the girls, if necessary. We have no regrets or apologies for the swap.

4. Where are the 82 girls currently?

---

The 82 girls are being held in a secure medical facility in Abuja, with access to a team of medical doctors, psychologists, social workers and trauma experts. They are undergoing medical checks and tests, and receiving appropriate courses of treatment where necessary.
Their physical and psychological wellbeing is and continues to be the utmost priority of the Federal Government.

5. Have the girls’ families been contacted?

---

Yes, the parents and families of all the girls have been contacted, and arrangements are already being made to reunite them with the girls. We expect that this reunion will happen in the week commencing 15th May, 2017

6. What’s the next step regarding the released girls?

---

They will be given appropriate and comprehensive medical and psychological care and support. The Federal Government will underwrite all of the care they will receive, as well as their educational ambitions. The ultimate goal is to reunite them with their families, reintegrate them into the society, and support them to achieve their personal, educational, and professional goals and ambitions.

7. What about the rest of the Chibok girls still being held by Boko Haram?

---

Negotiations are continuing for their release. The sensitive nature of the situation means that there are limits to the kind of information that can be released to the public regarding these negotiations.

8. What’s happening with the 21 girls freed in October 2016

---

The previously freed girls (21 freed in October 2016, and the additional 3 that gained their freedom in May 2016, November 2016 and January 2017 respectively) are in a secure location in Abuja, undergoing a 9-month Reintegration and Rehabilitation Programme comprising the following:
· Psychological Counselling and Care
· Remedial Education
· Vocational Training (skills like Catering and Tailoring)
· Sports and Recreation (Football and Handball)

9. Is it true that the Federal Government is holding the previously released 21 girls against their wishes?

---

This is absolutely false. The girls and their parents have made it clear to the Federal Government that they wish to remain under the care of the Federal Government in Abuja at this time. The girls are all in high spirits, and are enthusiastic about taking advantage of this opportunity for education and self-development. At no point have they or will they be compelled to remain in the care of the government against their will.
At the end of the reintegration programme, the girls will take up Federal Government scholarships for the completion of their secondary education.
The newly-released 82 girls will enjoy the same opportunities accorded the 24 previously rescued girls.

10. Is it true that the families of the 21 girls are being prevented from having access to them?

---

This is absolutely false. The girls’ families are regularly in Abuja to see them. Chibok girls are high-profile targets, and the Government is taking the utmost care to ensure their security and safety.
The girls have also been scheduled for quarterly visits back home to Chibok, subject to security clearance by the authorities. They visited for Christmas, and were due to return at Easter, but the security conditions back home did not permit the April trip. Instead their families travelled to Abuja to see them.
Also note that the persons complaining about being denied access to the 21 girls are not their biological parents or guardians. We are very careful who we grant access to, to see the girls. We will only grant access to their biological parents and/or direct guardians, and not community members, both for security and for psychological reasons. We do not want people to keep asking them questions that will make them relive the horrible experiences they had while in captivity.

GRATITUDE
The Federal Government would like to thank all Nigerians for their support and for never losing confidence in the ability and assurances of Mr. President to secure the safe release of our Chibok Girls. This is the most glaring manifestation to date of the unwavering commitment of Mr. President to secure the safe release of the girls and reunite them with their families. It is also a result of the round-the-clock efforts by the Administration to bring closure to the issue of the kidnap of the girls.

continue, the first 21 are still undergoing secret training, but this new set according to you will be integrated to the society.
continue, one day na one day.
high profile security targets indeed.

successmatters:
APC propaganda machine

They are telling us that they will release those 82 freed girls to their parents, while they are still detaining those freed since last year?

Do these people think we are all fools?

This 82set has promised nt 2 speak 2 the public while the 21 still dy form stronghead na why FG re-abduct them..
the series never end, just keep watching lol. Like someone said earlier, hope say they are counting them o make number of released no come pass number of kidnapped.

SCAAAAM! SCAM Government! SCAM femi adesina! SCAM garba shehu! SCAM Mr liar lainus Mohammed, Major SCAM Mr Vegetable Buhari

Am still waiting for that date that the real TRUTH about chibok girls will be reveal to the whole wide world, thou I know that the main sponsors of this devilish propaganda may not be brought to book but history will have it and their generation will forever suffer for it.

chibok girls is the biggest fraud ever in this country.

greatiyk4u:
So ask your own real question and recieve answers

Okay, here we go. Lets see how much of the questions, the real questions you can answer as their proxy;
1. Where you there when these girls where taken?
2. They were said to be loaded into about 8 Hilux, where did they pass since we were told the military was just few yards from Chibok?
3. How come people who are sitting for senior exams and Physics for that matter cannot speak English and had to be taught after release?
4. Why are the girls parent tele-guided as regards contact and even speaking out?

Funny country!!! This trend is for gullible Nigerians to brain wash them against princesss' revelations bout chibok

dancewith:
This is serious. Does it mean even the previously released girls are not free in the real sense of it but now in government captivity using these bogus excuses. Omg. Something isn't adding up. The world over several people have been freed from the captivity of terrorist and usually soon after they are in the news recounting their experiences. There is a saying that if it cries like an owl, flies like an owl, looks like an owl, then definitely it must be an owl.

Kai! i wonder how you reason so in your opinion government should release them back to the society immediately after their released from their captives? Ha! Ha!! oga take it easy now these girls are human being like you and the best the government can do for them is to shield them from unnecessary public sympathy while they undergo rehabilitation

I DON'T BELIEVE OR DOUBT THIS STORY.

The girls loom plump and healthy even healthier than girls moving freely who are not kidnapped looking far better than the girls in IDP camp
Wonders shall never end

Righteousness exalt a nation. May God help Nigeria and our leaders

Please o...is it the Boko haram that is freeing these girls that is still using girls as suicide bombers till tomorrow? Them dey release with one hand dey bomb with the other hand?

For How Long Will They Be Kept By Our government? Till Everyone Of Them Is Freed?
Probablity In Play

vagabondMynd44:
why can't they exchange GEJ and Nnamdi Kanu for the remaining girls?

They'll like Kanu with his loud mouth no doubt

Would actually be a good idea so that Kanu will use the truth to expose all the hidden things in that scam.

Most APC members know this Chibok story is a carelessly planned scam but as brainless zombies they would bury their heads with it as long as the Daura paedophile is still taking his last breath in a London hospital. The cone head tribe breeds the worst cowards on earth!

Richydos:
Just shut up plzzzzzz .... Is it boko haram dtx making d negotiations or d Federal govt
Do u in ur innermost mind believe dis girls were truly kidnapped or a staged propaganda by some crazy confused fellow who think they can fool everyone.....

Yes, I think they were kidnapped, as were at least nearly 2000 other girls by Boko and their boys.

And yes, I do not look at the Chibok issue and see politics....politics of GEJ and PMB....I see something bad that happened...just like the millions of bad things that happened all over the world since time inmemmorial.

God bless....and good luck

Desyner:
This our govt is a suspekt. How did the girls return so fresh.

Resources needed for this girls to look this good can't be provided by illegal abductors. Just imagine what it takes to Care for corper's in camp. How do they get medical attention due to poor and unconducive environment they are been kept.

wizod:
if dey will cry during interview let dem cry also. Will crying kill someone

And if they confirm during interview that they were really kidnapped, and that they was no plot...in other words...they say what you do not want to hear...you won't beleive them

Come, you these politicans....not everyone sees everything as PDP vs APC.Calm down....I am not for GEJ or PMB!

Come, everything is not about politics.

Sorry you think I am an APC/ Northern spokesman. I am not, just a plain old Nigerian.

And why should you be focusing on Chibok.? What about the 49 boys killed in a school in Yobe by the same Boko?Would that not make better propaganda for the APC govt. How about the hundreds of other girls abducted by Boko under the past and present administration (yes, this administration too NEEDS to do more against Boko).

And why for heaven's sake are you insulting the past admin by insuinating that it was powerless to stop a scam?

Everything is not politics. All I am thinking of now is lessons to be learned which is....we need to get rid of bad governance in the North of Nigeria.....and we need to end our current bad economic system which is dependent on sharing money...and which is contributing to most of the problems we face as a country.

If you like....call me an APC conspirator. (I no dey see APC membership card to buy...and anyway I support one of the smaller parties in Nigeria..the NCP).

Chibok girls were kidnapped by Boko. Under no one'sorders but their evil cult leader Shekau.It happended.....as did the kidnap of hundreds of other girls up North. Deal with it. Such is life. Bad things happen. We learn from them and move on, the better for it.

Where is d main beneficiary of the chibok scam ? After all the lies, his sit in d executive council meetings every Wednesday remains vacant. Nothing is worth killing for

Why them no sabi simple English?

ashjay001:
With the rate of corruption present in d last administration, why wont d army generals themselves create such a scenario, as kidnapping d girls to get more cash released to fight d insurgency!? We all read about inadequate n archaic weaponry given to d troops. BH was better armed than our troops! Stories of cowardly soldiers, officers n troops were paramount!? Yet, billions was being released, cash was even being transported illegally into foreign countries to supposedly buy weapons!?!?! BH was claiming an emirate on our lands, inspite of d absurd sums being spent!

What happened to critical thinking?! Ur ability to separate personal beefs from objective conclusions shows ur level of intelligence!?

the thing about people like yourself is that you are all too dumb to reason logically & educate yourself about issues you have no iota of knowledge about.

you talk about corruption, is this 'regime' free of that? have you been informed how much has been spent so far from 2015 to date on the war? or in your infantile mind, you believe this regime is corruption free...GEJ's government was corrupt, agreed, & so is your precious incompetent PMB & his band of clowns.

you speak of inadequate weapons, but you fail to understand why the weapons where inadequate in the first place. the last time Nigeria bought military weapons in large quantities pre-2014-2015 was in the early 80s. since then, our military capabilities had been degraded. the sack of politically exposed military officers in 1999/2000 while saving democracy, took out some of the more experienced military operators, people who fought in Sierra Leone, Liberia & other countries that experienced guerrilla warfare.

but the time BH started gaining territories, the inadequacy of the military was exposed, hence the initial struggles to contain the land grab by BH... mind you, most soldiers running were not battle hardened nor did we have experienced commanders in the field.

buying covert arms is done by all security forces around the world, its nothing new. NO respectable country exposes exactly what weapons it has in its armoury... but you won't know that because you dabble into issues you have no knowledge of.

anyway, it would do you a lot of good for you to read & get sufficient knowledge before you expose your crass ignorance in public.

once again, educate yourself & know those whom you quote, not everyone on this forum is as dumb as you...

The north is a disgrace to this nation. Right from the beginning I knew that this chibok thing is an act of sabotage on GEJ.
shameful how these northerns reason with their nose instead of their brain

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/231205-how-i-was-kidnapped-drugged-charmed-by-boko-haram-to-become-suicide-bomber-14-years-old-girl.html


to all those supporting the FG & its twisted attempts to muddle up the Chibok saga, why would they allow a 14 year old child speak to a News Agency?

or this child does not need rehabilitation too right?

I laugh at PMB & his Social Media Id**ts...

always reasoning in askance of logic.
