Father Of Abducted Chibok Girls Dies Of Hypertension In Borno

Mr. Muntai Hona died of hypertension because his daughters were not seen  in the Boko Haram Video

A father of two of the nearly 300 girls abducted from Government Secondary School Chibok Borno State has died while a mother has allegedly developed mental illness.

Pulse.ng understands that the late father, Mr. Muntai Hona, fell ill after failing to find his daughters in the video the Chibok girls' abductees released over a week ago.

A member of the family, James Yama told journalists that Mr. Suntai did not recover from the illness and died on Sunday in Chibok.

“Since he could not identify any of his two daughters in the video released by Boko Haram, he developed hypertension which eventually killed him on Sunday,” Yama told journalists on Wednesday in Maiduguri.

This is coming even as conspiracy theorists are arguing that the Boko Haram video allegedly showing some of the abducted Chibok girls was stage managed.

Parents of the abducted girls were reportedly shown the video and a large number of them were identified.

Daily Trust reported that one of the parents has taken to heavy drinking while a woman has developed a mental disorder.

It will be recalled that on April 14th, nearly 300 girls were abducted by  Boko Haram insurgents in a daring attack on their school, sparking a worldwide campaign, under the #BringBackOurGirls umbrella, as joint efforts continue to rescue the girls.
