SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, (THEWILL) – The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Aisha Alhassan, has declared that all the 106 Chibok girls so far released by Boko Haram are medically stable.
Alhassan, who spoke in Abuja as part of activities lined up for the 2017 National Children Day celebration, described their abduction as the most cruel form of violence against Children.
“All the released 106 girls are now medically stable without any form of terminal disease,” she revealed.
“All those that require surgery have been operated upon and are now medically fit.
“Their abduction remains the cruellest form of violence against children. Some of the children are still being subjected to different forms of inhuman and degrading treatment against their will.
“I am glad about the recent release of another batch of 82 girls. A total of 106 girls has been released so far. This has raised our hope once more.
“As we celebrate Children Day, I enjoin all Nigerians to remember the Chibok girls that are still in captivity in their prayers.
“I wish to use this opportunity to also urge the security agencies to do all that is humanly possible to bring back the remaining girls to us and their families.”
