Abduction: 'We Did Not See Any Nigerian Soldier In The Bush - Victims Parents Reveal

Parents and relations of girls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents in Chibok, Borno State who gave up their search for the girls in the bush yesterday, claimed no soldier was in the bush searching with them.

Speaking with the Hausa service of the BBC, the parents alleged that throughout their their fruitless search in the Sambisa forest, they did not come in contact with any Nigerian soldier in the forest but rather they found abandoned huts, breads and vehicles possibly belonging to security agents.

He said, "Contrary to claims by the authorities that soldiers were in the forest trying to rescue the school girls, we saw nobody; we didn’t see any vigilante agent too. We did not see any security agent, even in our dreams. These soldiers, we didn’t see any.

"We were about 200 in the forest but we had to return back. We couldn’t sleep there; we saw nothing but make shift huts that were erected in the bushes."

He explained that they however saw a different set of people who asked what they were doing in the bush and they told them.

The Commissioner for Education, Mr. Musa Kubo, has said that so far, 45 students are back in school. Out of this number, 28 escaped from abduction while 17 fled home during the attack and returned home.

They are still awaiting the return of 84 students as intensive search and rescue efforts continue.
