Following reports that the 21 Chibok girls released in unspecified terrorists and cash exchange negotiations with Boko Haram last October are infrequently seeing their parents and only singing and dancing and learning to bake, the Nigerian minister of women’s affairs has released a Press statement confirming the allegations by a community leader.
In the report the minister, Jummai Alhassan said, “The girls speak to their parents/families every weekend and the parents visit from time to time.”
The minister did not specify how frequent or infrequently the parents were transported all the way from Borno to Abuja to be with their children. The earlier report had indicated that it was so infrequent, many parents were even unable to see their daughters for Easter.
