The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaign group has described the recent release of 82 Chibok girls from the captivity of Boko Haram as heart warming.

The BBOG conveners, Aisha Yesufu and Oby Ezekwesili, in a statement, reminded the government that 113 girls are still in captivity.

According to Daily Post, the group said “We are exceedingly delighted by this good news that has been long awaited following last October when upon the release of our 21 #ChibokGirls, our federal government promised that; another 83 was being negotiated to be released very soon.

“We commend Mr president, the federal government and all the other partners for this heartwarming development.

“We are also glad that the statement from the presidency makes a strong commitment to rescuing the remaining 113 of our #ChibokGirls that are still captives of terrorists.

“We are eagerly looking forward to the official release of the names of the 82 girls in order to enable us as usual verify them against the #ChibokGirls list generated by the presidential Fact-finding committee on the abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls (General Ibrahim Sabo Committee) report of 20 June 2014. Once we are able to do so, we shall communicate our findings to the public.”

The Boko Haram sect released 82 Chibok girls in a deal that reportedly saw the Federal Government swapping prisoners for the students.
