The parents of the released abducted students in Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria have denied media reports that their wards were subjected to sexual abuse while in captivity.

The parents of the 37 students of Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka in Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria, abducted by terrorists on March 11 and released on May 5, have denounced claims that the students were sexually molested by their abductors while in captivity.

Several online media outlets, quoting an anonymous parent of one of the released students, reportedly said the students, male and female, while in captivity, were sexually molested by their captors.

“While we were basking in the joy of having reunited with our precious children, who were released unharmed after 56 gruesome days in captivity, our attention was drawn to a May 11th 2021 error-ridden online publication (by Reuben Abati) and some online Media (including Daily Times) to the effect that an unidentified parent of one of the 27 students released on May 5th, speaking on the condition of anonymity, had disclosed that the students, both male and female, ‘were sexually, homosexually molested by the bandits while in captivity,’” the parents said in a press statement issued in Kaduna, Sunday, May 16.

“Other online media outlets also published the self-same report,” the parents said in the statement signed by Abdullahi Usman, Chairman of their union.

“On behalf of the parents of the Forum of the abducted 37 students (now released), we wish to set the records straight and hope that this will end the circulation of the fabrication which the story is,” they said.

“We state in unequivocal terms that none of the 37 kidnapped (now freed) Afaka students were sexually or homosexually molested by the bandits,” they said.

The parents explained: “In fact, by divine providence, according to the testimony of all the released students, one bandit lost his life on the mere mention of the desire to sexually molest a student.”

They continued: “The students confessed that ‘he didn’t even actually attempt it; he was just saying it, and yet he was killed and we were asked to take his corpse and deposit it in a nearby bush because they said he was not worthy of a proper burial.’”

They said as parents of the released students, their primary focus now was “the rehabilitation of our treasures whom God has brought back to us alive and miraculously unharmed.”

The parents maintained that smearing the students with the allegation of sexual and homosexual molestation by their abductors would “aggravate the trauma we and our released children are working hard to overcome.”

Initially, 39 students were abducted and two of them escaped from the abductors, before ten students were released in two batches of five, and subsequently, the remaining 27 rescued.

May be cos of stigmatization... Boko haram wey konji dey their body like anything...

Instead of the deluded Boko haram to offer themselves to Nigeria army so that they can go and enjoy their 7 virgins peacefully

HOLLY GRAM

It is good that if there was no sexual molestation.

Say No to sexual molestation.

okay we know.


Na season of Denying we dey...

In as much as I would love to believe this, what I'm seeing is quite different, I see the parents trying to protect their kids from stigmatization, I see the government trying to sweep the matter under the carpet. This I have seen.

The two sides of the story have now been revealed, but there's an atom of truth in both sides.

The first side of the story came from the parents of those who were molested and the second side came from the parents of those who were not molested which I think indicates that, some might have been molested actually but majority were not molested.

It's a case of majority carries the vote here.

It is not a surprise for the media to carry such, after all bad news sells fast.

It's expected. In most cases victims of rape in the North prefer to remain silent to avoid stigma and shame.

John 1:46
Can there any good thing come out of the North?

What's really going on in this country

Sensible Nigerians will prefer to hear from medical experts after test has been conducted rather than parents.


Those bandits terrorist that can sleep with anything even cow.
Spits.

Ok

The parents are only trying to protect thier kids from stigma. It's a fact that the terrorists are s*x starved bastards.

The parent might have write this statement but we know it's the voice of the government.. nobody was wishing or praying for the students to be molested sexually but 53days no be hours.

Statements and retractments

Damage control maybe... Check my signature, can you afford me?

1st off there is nothing like parents forum on behalf of 37 abducted students that can release statements on behalf of any parent. That is a highly compromised and unverified source and entity. It’s like saying no chibok gal got pregnant.

These parents should better say the truth. This damage control won’t help anyone except the bandits and their sympathizers.

So who is lying to and who is telling the truth now

Since the bandits are heartless and kill Muslims and Christians alike (no iota of Godliness in them) ,it is possible they raped some and left some and the ones raped some of their family will not want to be stigmatized especially against future marriages their children will have and some will want justice and compensation for being raped and those that were not raped will want to maintain they were not raped.

I just think they're just trying to "save face".
My hunch tells me that those wild beasts won't keep those beauties for that long without doing something stoopid..

Who are these parents trying to defend, if they are debunking the report. It's not adding up at all!!

I can't blame the parents, they've gone through a lot and are not ready to allow their children start going through stigmatization that would probably last forever

They're trying to cut their loss

continue with the lies and counter lies.....

BTW, "No one dies a virgin, life fuuccks everyone"

if I hear.... Boko Haram wen dey konjified on default

helinues:
May be cos of stigmatization... Boko haram wey konji dey their body like anything...

Instead of the deluded Boko haram to offer themselves to Nigeria army so that they can go and enjoy their 7 virgins peacefully

if Boko Haram offer them selves to Nigeria army, they will be released and rehabilitated by the dullard in chief, so there won't be immediate virgin for them, na wisdom brother

They can lie to us but not to themselves.

Rape or no rape they are free from the lion dent, next time when choosing a school for your ward think of the location too.

The kidnappers really mean business
