After seven years in captivity Borno governor says Chibok girls will return soon

The governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum, has said the schoolgirls abducted from Chibok, in a town in the state, as well as other abductees, will be safely freed.

Zulum said these seven years after the Chibok girls were abducted by Boko haram terrorists while they were preparing for their exams at a boarding school.

Though some of the girls have been rescued, a large number   still remains in the captivity of the terrorists.

In a statement  Zulum said as a father, he can’t imagine the pains of having one’s daughter held by terrorists for as long as seven years.

He called for prayers for the girls and everyone in abduction and for peace to be fully and permanently restored in Borno.
