Thank GOD o cos as at yesterday Tuesday April 15th, the terrorist group Boko Haram struck at the Government Girls' Secondary School in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State kidnapping over 200 young girls!
The good news is that over 80 of those who were abducted have escaped and have also been rescued.
According to reports, the girls who were kidnapped were rescued this morning by a group of vigilante, local hunters and soldiers. It so happened that the trucks some of them were conveyed in, got stuck in the bush while they were trying to crossover some muddy area between Chibok and Askira/Uba.
Some of the girls took advantage of this and fled.
Speaking on the incident, one of the rescued girl's father, Malam Ali Iliya said, his daughter told him that when they got stuck, the insurgents allowed those who jumped out escape and they did not shoot at them, adding that those who could not run either as a result of fear or wound are still with them in the bush.
The girls who escaped were found scattered in the bush by vigilante and local hunters.
Malam Ali said, "Some of them were wounded, some were with fracture, which I believe was as a result of jumping from the high vehicle, but we are happy that our children have been rescued.
"Now we are praying for those who are still with the Boko Haram; our prayer is that every father will have his child back."
According to his daughter, the abductors were over a hundred in number and the abducted girls were 243 as they were asked to count themselves.
He added that his daughter Hajara was sound and healthy but weak.
The Boko Haram insurgents have been wrecking havoc across the country.
