The Nigerian Air Force should stop
the bombardment of the Sambisa forest, the notorious stronghold of the deadly
Boko Haram sect, one of the rescued Chibok girls said. According to her, the
remaining Chibok girls in captivity are located there and the army may kill
them instead of the insurgents.

Gloria, one of the girls, revealed this in a
personal explanation to the Senate Leader Ali Ndume when he paid a visit to the
released girls. He said: “On my way to them, I didn’t know what to say but on
getting there, they composed a song for me. I didn’t know what to do, I ended
up crying. Gloria, their leader, ended up consoling me.
“She said I should talk to the Air
Force to be careful in carrying out air raids so as not to kill the remaining
Chibok girls. On behalf of Chibok thank
you the whole world, thank you for the worthy support.”
Also, Biodun Olujimi, senator
representing Ekiti South, said the most heartbreaking thing was that the girls
“were not touched all the time they were there (with Boko Haram).
“The time has come for government
to come out to say how far we have gone on Boko Haram,” Olujimi said.
Binta Garba, the senator from Adamawa, said
the released of the 21 girls gives hope that the rest would be found. “We need
them to undergo physiological cleansing because of the trauma they have gone
true. The government should guarantee the security of Nigerians home and
abroad,” she added.
The 21 Chibok schoolgirls, recently
released by terrorist group Boko Haram due to negotiations with the federal
government, were reunited with their families amid tearful scenes over the last
weekend. The Nigerian authorities said that the negotiations will continue to
free the remaining girls, but some sources only 83 out of the 197 left are
being negotiated for. Another girl, Amina Ali Nkeki, was found on the outskirts
of Sambisa forest in May.
