The #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) group have requested that the federal government release the details of the new investigation into the
abducted Chibok school girls that the National Security Adviser publicly announced in January, 2016 at the approval of President Muhammadu
Buhari.
In a press release signed by the leaders of the group,
Aisha Yesufu and Dr Oby Ezekwesili, the group stated that the investigation
which was necessary will help disclose what exactly happened in the Government
Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State on the April 14, 2014.
The group also repeated its demand that the Major General
Mohammed Sabo Fact-Finding Committee Report into the abduction of the girls
which was submitted to the former administration be released.
“We also wish to remind Mr. President of two other
matters we have been waiting: The release of the Major General Mohammed Sabo
Fact-Finding Committee Report of 2014 into the abduction of Chibok School Girls
submitted to the former administration.
“Details of the new investigation into the abduction of
#ChibokGirls that National Security Adviser announced to the public in January,
2016 at the approval and instance of President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.
The group has pleaded the federal and the Borno State
governments to reopen schools that have been shut down in Chibok community for two
years now so that the children of the area will be able to continue their schooling.
That also lamented that children in the area needed to resume
their education after passing through the trauma caused by insurgency.
“We remind the Federal and Borno State Governments that
the Chibok Community has made numerous demands for closed schools in their
community to be reopened after more than two years of shutdown,” it said.
The group also urged government expedite action in the
reconstruction of the Government Secondary School from where the Chibok Girls
were abducted abducted as it was the only secondary school around the area were
chilldren can attend.
“They have many times demanded for speedy reconstruction
of the Government Secondary School from where our ChibokGirls were abducted.
“We are similarly puzzled as to what has stalled the
rebuilding and reopening of the school. We therefore advise the Federal and
Borno State Governments to be accountable and responsive by engaging with
Chibok community to resolve these matters peaceably,” it said.
