293 Rescued Women, Girls Are Indigenes Of Bumisiri Village & Not From Chibok

The Borno State Government on Wednesday said the 293 women and girls, rescued from the Boko Haram stronghold in Sambisa Forest, were from Bumsiri Village in Damboa Local Government Area of the state and not from Chibok.

State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Mohammed Bulama, told journalists that the profiling of the 200 girls and 93 women, rescued by the military on Tuesday, showed that they were abducted from Bumsiri village.

Bulama commended the Nigerian Army for rescuing the 293 women and girls from captivityadding that the government has started making plans to put in place all the necessary structures to rehabilitate and integrate the freed 293 females back into the society. PUNCH reports that he said:
 “These girls and women rescued are still our daughters as much as the Chibok girls and we have to commend the military for liberating them, hoping that the rest will equally be liberated.

Though everyone had thought they were the Chibok girls because of the hype surrounding the abduction of the girls, but we should not lose sight of the fact that they are as important as the Chibok girls and those that are still in captivity, which we hope would be liberated soon.
But at the moment, we are looking up to the time the 293 women and girls would be handed to us so that we can begin the process of rehabilitating and reintegrating them back into the society.”

The Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mallam Isa Gusau, said the military’s operation that led to the liberation was “gratifying regardless of whether or not the rescued women were part of the over 200 schoolgirls stolen by insurgents at Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.

Only God knows how many people have been kidnapped, since the beginning of this insurgency. If we have been expecting the release of the Chibok Girls only to find out , that we found the Bumsiri girls. I think the FG Should do a head count to review who and who is missing or dead. ' Tough task' esp in a nation where there's no data base and the No of Population is rather guessed , than Confirmed. God help us.
