After two gruelling and painful months of asking, Nigerians now have the opportunity of seeing the faces of the kidnapped Chibok Girls.

For those of us who have been clamouring for photographs and the names of the kidnapped female students of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, after about 68 days in captivity, we can now see their faces.

Though it has taken two whole months for their identities to be known, there is a great sigh of relief that their parents and loved ones now have an opportunity of seeing their faces and knowing they are still alive.

The pictures were gotten by UK Mail Online and has been used after getting permission from the Chibokj community leader and the parents of the girls who have asked that the photos be publicised for all to see.

According to Gordon Brown of Mailonline:

I was shown these pictures after visiting Nigeria this week. I met the leader of the community council in Chibok, the town from which the girls were abducted.

Slowly and with tears in his eyes, he flicked through a file in which he had recorded the names and photographs of the girls.

Not even the police and Army have managed to compile such detail he has amassed from talking to the parents of the kidnapped teenagers.

The file has 185 pages one for every girl. Each page has a photograph, and beside each passport-sized picture some stark facts — the girl’s name, her school grade and the date of abduction.

For the other 19 abducted girls, he has yet to locate photographs.

The community leader and the girls’ families have given permission for their names and photographs to be put into the public domain so the world is reminded of the missing girls.
