Four chibok girls who were thought to have been missing found at home with their parents

The Presidential committee on the abduction of schoolgirls in Chibok was reportedly informed that 4 girls previously listed as missing, escaped but their parents failed to provide the information on time.

According to

Sahara Reporters

, Borno State Commissioner for Education

Musa Inuwa Kubo

made this known last Friday. The discovery was made when

Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima

ordered the Education Ministry to create detailed profiles on each missing girl. During that process, involving visits to parents, 4 girls were found safe at home with their parents. It was learnt that these girls could be among those students who escaped when Boko Haram transported them to the unknown location. Following the return the parents probably failed to notify the competent bodies because they were afraid the abductors would return for the girls. Having taken into consideration the latest data, Kubo concluded that the current number of

missing girls

is 219. This however conflicts with the information provided by

Chibok

official Bana Lawan, who said 4 girls were released by

Boko Haram

insurgents due to illness. However, the government is said to be unaware of the alleged released, a source revealed to the journalists.
