Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday dropped a bombshell on the fate of the abducted Chibok girls.
According to him, it was taking too long to secure the release of the schoolgirls and as such, some of them may never see their families again.
He also said that the fighters may have separated the girls as a strategy to deter any onslaught by security forces on their hideout.
Stressing that he had a way of communicating with the insurgents, the one-time Head of State announced that the federal government was yet to grant him permission to speak with them.
Obasanjo, who featured as a guest on the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation on Sunday, predicted that some of the girls would get pregnant, adding that they may be released in future as it would be difficult to cater for the babies while in captivity.
“I believe that some of them will never return. We will still be hearing about them many years from now, some will give birth to children of the Boko Haram members, but if they cannot take care of them in the forest, they may release them”, he said.
The retired General, who in June first publicly offered to lead negotiations to have the detainees freed, added that succeeding generations would continue to remember the girls who were abducted from their hostels on April 14.

OBJ just said the sad truth.....the govt is not making any effort to find the girls. just imagine the pilot that crashed recently, they didn't bother to search for him. their excuse was...he crashed behind enemy lines, so we are afraid to go in.
