The Federal Government today had a closed door meeting with parents and relatives of abducted Chibok school girls, where it tabled plans to get the girls released from Boko Haram captivity.
Recall that over 200 girls were abducted from Government Secondary School, Chibok, on April 14, 2014 by the Islamic fundamentalist group, Boko Haram.
In a press statement made available to Punch by the Special Adviser to Minister of State for Power (Hon. Mohammed Wakil), Olawale Rasheed, it was disclosed that, at the meeting in Maiduguri this morning, the federal government, through its representative, told the parents how far it had gone in securing the release of the school girls from captivity.
It will be recalled that in a just concluded interview on Africa Independent Television (AIT), President Goodluck Jonathan revealed that the abducted chibok girls are alive.
The President said that Boko Haram insurgents have not killed the over 200 schoolgirls abducted from Government Secondary School Chibok, Borno state.
Meanwhile, There are strong indications that the United Kingdom is trying to keep information about the over 200 Chibok school girls.These indications came to light when a UK-based group, Security in Africa, through its founder, Ben Oguntala, decided to write the British Ministry of Defence to request for information on the kidnapped girls.
