Plan International Nigeria, a non-governmental organisation working on girls’ rights has described as unfortunate and a sad reminder of vulnerability of citizen that seven years on, over a hundred of the 276 schools girls kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state are still in captivity.
According to the Interim Director of Plan International Nigeria, Robert Komakech, “it is regrettable that these girls and other persons elsewhere are still being held captive by insurgents”.
Expressing worry over the fate of the over one hundred girls still in captivity and the effect on their parents and relations, Komakech stated that “for every new day these girls spend with their abductor, it signifies a move further away from the dream they had prior to their abduction and for the parents and other relations, a harrowing trauma”.
