Wanton Abduction of Women, Children By
Boko Haram Militants
On
the night of April 14-15, 2014, Boko Haram militants brazenly abducted plausibly
276 school girls in one swoop from Government Secondary School Chibok, Borno
State. A handful of the girls supposedly wriggled free while a chunk of them
are still under Boko Haram’s captivity. Thanks to Social media and the #BringBackOurGirls
campaign, this atrocious incident generated global awareness and outrage.
Nearly two years down the line, the Chibok girls’ abduction has defied the dragnet
of Nigeria’s security, intelligence agencies and that of other advanced
countries.
