Obasanjo: Chibok girls cannot be found

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped from Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists, can no longer be found. He added that any leader assuring that they will be returned was lying. 

“Nobody can bring back the girls for they are nowhere to be found,” Obasanjo was reported to have saidabout the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram gunmen 663 days ago.

“So if any leader is promising to bring back Chibok girls, he is lying. Majority of these girls would have died, while those alive would have married, sexual violence and human traffic would have affected others.
“Nigerian leaders should stop deceiving the populace as Chibok girls cannot return again.

“The disappearance of the Chibok girls is as a result of non challant attitude of the previous leaders who did not swing to action immediately, which constituted impediment to their return.

“72 hours after the Chibok girls were adopted was too late for their rescue, talk less getting to two years by April," Obasanjo said.
