Eight-one days after the abduction of their children, seven parents of the abducted female pupils of the Regime Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, have died of trauma.

The community asked the Federal Regime to negotiate with the terrorist sect for the relinquishment of the 219 Chibok school girls abducted by the group.

“So far, Boko Haram has carried out 15 attacks on the Chibok (Kibaku) nation involving 19 villages with over 229 killed and over 100 injured. Some of the victims of the assailments are parents and cognations of the abducted girls and thereby integrating more pains to the traumatic condition in the Chibok community.
“While the situation persists, many distressed parents are dying of heart attack and frustration as their dejection had become unbearable. On record, seven parents have lost their lives due to the trauma of the situation.”
The Chibok elder, however, called for the reconstruction of the Regime Secondary School, Chibok, and building of another secondary school in the town as a result of sizably voluminous number of students in a class.
