57 Chibok schoolgirls who managed to escape from the
captivity of the dreaded Boko Haram sect have reportedly gained
admission into a school in the United States of America (USA).
The Centre for Promotion of Ethics, Values and National Integration
(CENPEVNI) said it was able to secure the admission through its
collaboration with other groups.
This was disclosed in Abuja by the executive director of the
group, and project coordinator, Rehabilitation and Reintegration
Outreach Mission (RROM), Dr Mercy Sokomba, at a one day Stakeholders
Interactive Session on Effective Victim Support Strategies, Leadership
reports.
She said: “The reality of this particular offer is if the girls
are ready for another form of separation from their parents. However, we
have initiated discussions with some leadership of the Chibok community
and at some point will meet with them and the parents for consent.”
She said offers for completion of education of the girls, inclusive
of scholarship, have been made to RROM through Stefanos Foundation and
the international support groups of RROM while adding that they hope the
funds and support partnership will consistently get to RROM for project
sustainability within scheduled time frame so as not to hinder the
progress the outreach mission has made so far.
She prayed for the safe return of the abducted Chibok girls and many
other women and children abducted earlier or after the Chibok girls.

Sokomba who commended the Federal Government in the fight against
insurgency, pleaded for a quick resolution of the Boko Haram saga,
saying: “The end of terrorism will bring an end to the loss of lives and properties.”
It’s been over four months since over 200 girls were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents from their school in Chibok, Borno state and all the attempts to rescue the girls from their abductors is yet to yield positive result.
After their abduction on April 14, some of them were said to have
escaped and have since been re-united with their families, but a large a
number of the girls are still being held the abductors.
Over the weekend, reports surfaced that the parents of the missing girls want the case closed and all they want is the corpses of their daughters so they could bury them honorably.
