SAN FRANCISCO, May 20, (THEWILL) – The Chibok Girls’ Parents Association on Friday confirmed the doubt of some Nigerians that the girl, Serah Luka reported by the Nigerian Army to be a second missing Chibok schoolgirl to be found, is not one of the 219 Chibok girls who have been in the captivity of Boko Haram terrorists for the past two years.
This was disclosed by the Chairman of the association, Mr. Yakubu Nkeki, who stated that while they are excited for Serah’s rescue because she like their daughters is a victim of Boko Haram, the military should first make enquiries about the information they have before rushing into conclusions.
He told The Nation that he has all the names, pictures and names of the abducted girls’ parents, insisting that Sarah is not one of them. He stressed that the military should have taken Serah to Chibok or contacted the Chibok community like the vigilantes did with Amina Ali before making the announcement.
According to Nkeki, “I have checked my list, I have the list and pictures of all our girls including that of their parents and Serah Luka is not one of them. The military really jumped into conclusion in assuming that she is one of our girls.
“We are happy and excited about Serah’s rescue, including that of the others rescued with her because she is an innocent victim of Boko Haram just like our daughters. But the military need to verify next time just like the vigilantes did with Amina Ali before making the announcement that they have rescued one of our daughters.”
