The world seems to have moved on since 2014, when people of all nations clamoured for the release of the Chibok Girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Borno State.
Ninety one out of the 276 girls are still missing and their parents have written to the First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, to remind her and Nigerians of their pain.
The parents, in a letter, captioned: “A Plea for Justice and Remembering the Chibok Girls – A Letter to Her Excellency, Mrs. Remi Tinubu,” lamented that the horrific circumstances had weighed heavily on them in the past 10 years.
The letter signed by Yana Galang and Mallam Zanna for and on behalf of the Chibok Parents’ Association and those whose children are yet to return, said: “The pain remains raw and the wounds refuse to heal. We are haunted by the memories of that night when our girls were taken from us, and every day we pray for their safe return.
“We have not lost hope, Your Excellency. We have not given up on our daughters, and we will continue to fight for their freedom until they are brought back to us.
“We urge you to use your influence and your platform to ensure that the plight of the Chibok girls is never forgotten, that justice is served, and that those responsible for this heinous act are held accountable.”
“We humbly ask for an opportunity to meet with you, to seek your assistance in advocating for the safe return of our daughters. We ask for your empathy and your understanding as we navigate through this unimaginable pain.
“We ask for your commitment to standing by us and never forgetting the 276 girls who were taken from their school that night.”
