@dwnews: It’s 12 years since the abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls from their dormitory in Borno state northeast Nigeria by the militant Islamist group, Boko Haram. While many girls were released and some escaped over the years, more than 80 have not returned. Ruth, whose daughter is still missing, and Maryam, who became a mother while in captivity, spoke to DW News about their struggles and holding on to hope. #dwcurrentaffairs
The Nigerian government reiterated its commitment in 2025 to securing the release of the remaining abducted Chibok schoolgirls assuring it citizens that they were not forgotten. No one among the remaining over eighty Chibok girls now women has been rescued since the statement was made.

I was wondering about these girls recently. I was 12 when they were first kidnapped and I always remembered them. I never stopped thinking of them and wishing for their safe return.

Many Boko haram members are in the army while some of them are in top government offices at the federal, state, and local levels. In Northern Nigeria.
