girls by the insurgents.

the kidnapping of the girls,” Haruna said.

abduction had adversely affected the lives of many parents
in the community.
Ali said although government had not formally informed the
community of the planned released of the girls, they were
happy with the plan.
“The government has not informed us about the expected
release of the girls. We only heard the news in the media
that the insurgents were willing to release the girls under a
ceasefire with the government,” he said.
Ali said that the community was excited by the media
report.
“We began to develop interest in the issue when the media
carried the news but we were disappointed that nothing has
happened yet.
“Up till this moment nobody has contacted us to say what
actually happened.
“Even the local government chairman has no information
about the issue, because I spoke with him in the morning,”
he said.
Ali said that the community had resorted to prayers on the
issue.
“We have taken our problem to our creator because all
human efforts
have failed in rescuing our children.
“It is only God that has the power to help rescue our girls
and we believe he will help us,” he said.
