Rescued 293 women are from Damboa not Chibok-Borno Govt

                

An Official from the Borno state government has stated that the 293 women and girls rescued from sambisa forest  are from Bumsiri village of Damboa local government area of Borno state.
The commissioner of Information Dr Mohammed Bulama made the clarification on Tuesday while he commended the Military effort.

“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

Governor Shettima in a statement thank and commend the effort of the army,he 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.”
