The girls are still missing and Boko Haram is still at large. Several protests have been staged, both on social media and on the streets of Lagos, London and New York, to call the Nigerian government and the international community into action so as to rescue these girls from their abductors. However, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, recently wrote an article about the issue and he revealed some emerging facts...
1. The majority of the girls that either ''escaped'' or were released by their abductors were muslims.
2. The Governor of Borno state refused to accept the counsel and
abide by the directives of WAEC that the exams should not take place in
Chibok due to the precarious security situation and instead he insisted
that the exams should take place there and that he would guarantee the
security of the children.
3. The the girls that have been
kidnapped are being raped up to 15 times a day by their captors and that
those amongst them that have refused to convert to islam are having
their throats cut (read the testimony of one of the girls that
''escaped'' on page 8 of the Vanguard Newspaper, 5th April, 2014).
4. There was not a single adult in the school grounds watching
over the 278 girls that entire night apart from one security man and
that there was no electricity, no generator, no principal, no matron, no
house master and no house mistress in the grounds with them.
5. The children were all alone in their dormitories that night in
the blistering heat and deepest darkness before the Haramites arrived to
carry them away into captivity.
6. The two of the ladies
that met with the First Lady on 4th April and that held themselves out
as representatives of the families of the abducted children did not in
fact have any link with the children or their families at all and hence
they were arrested for impersonation.
7. The soldiers that
were guarding the school in Chibok were redeployed a few hours before
Boko Haram launched their attack and abducted the children.
8. This was a predominantly Christian school and that Chibok is predominantly a christian town and community.
