A parent of one of the escaped
Chibok girls on Friday said he had spoken with his daughter, who is still in
the custody of soldiers after their escape from their abductors in the Sambisa
Forest.
Mr Ali Maiyanga’s two daughters
were part of the few Muslim schoolgirls taken with the majority Christian
Chibok girls in 2014 from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok Local
Government of Borno State.
A statement obtained from Emmanuel Ogebe of the US-Nigeria Law Group (USNLG) said, information
currently available indicates that there are other escapees with the army whom
parents are anxiously waiting to identify.
“Today, a parent of still missing Chibok schoolgirls who USNLG supports informed us of the escape of additional schoolgirls six years and nine months after their abduction.
“ We spoke and confirmed from Mr
Ali Maiyanga moments ago that he in fact spoke with his daughter today who
informed him that she along with others were rescued. Her sister who escaped
four years ago and is on break was overjoyed at the news of her sibling’s
escape,” The statement said.
Mr. Emmanuel Ogebe is a Nigerian
human rights lawyer who practices in the United States and has previously
worked with some of the escaped Chibok girls and their families.
