It’s a story of light at the end of the tunnel
for some of the girls who were abducted by
the Boko Haram sect on April 14, 2014.
57 of the Chibok schoolgirls who managed
to escape captivity will continue their
studies in a United States school.
According to reports, The Centre for
Promotion of Ethics, Values and National
Integration (CENPEVNI)in collaboration with
other groups secured the admission for the
girls.
This was disclosed by Dr. Mercy Sokomba,
the executive director of the group, and
project coordinator,Rehabilitation and
Reintegration Outreach Mission (RROM).
She said:
“The reality of this particular offer is if the
girls are ready for another form of
separation from their parents.
However, we have initiated discussions
with some leadership of the Chibok
community and at some point will meet
with them and the parents for consent,”
Over 200 girls were kidnapped from the
Government Girls Secondary School in
Chibok, Borno and most of them are still
being held by Boko Haram.
