Director of Media and Communication of the Kibaku (Chibok) Area Development Association KADA, Dr Allen Manasseh has revealed that 20 parents out of the 112 Chibok Girls held captive since April 14, 2014 have died as a result of trauma .

Dr Allen Manasseh who disclosed this at a solemn event held Wednesday in Abuja to mark the seventh year kidnap of the students said many other parents are living with terminal ailments.

You will recall that, on the night of April 14, 2014, about 276 schoolgirls of Government Secondary School Chibok were kidnapped. While 57 escaped later, 105 of the affected students were brought back through independent escape and military negotiations ,112 Chibok girls remain captives of the Boko Haram terrorist group.

According to Dr Manasseh, At the time of the Girls Kidnap, no fewer than 503 students were registered to sit for their final Senior School Certificate (SSCE) known as WAEC and NECO at the school. “No one can imagine the trauma and pain they are passing through, in the hands of terrorists who subject them to abuses, rapes, forced marriages, forced labour and many more associated with terrorism. Their parents are heartbroken, over 20 have since died, many are sick, waiting for answers from our government”.
While the parents called for ‘closure’ on the incident, they reminded President Muhammadu Buhari of his inaugural promise to see to their release.
