Escapee Schoolgirls To Relocate To Schools In Abuja, Lagos – Gov Shettima!!!

The 57 schoolgirls who escaped the captivity of Boko Haram gunmen on April 14 are to be relocated to schools in Lagos and Abuja where they would retake their final class and take another exam next year, Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima has said.
The names of the schools are not to be disclosed for security reasons.
About 27 of the escaped abducted girls yesterday met with Governor Shettima at Government House, Maiduguri accompanied by their parents.
Shettima who made the move to relocate them to schools outside Borno said the idea was to provide an atmosphere that will enable the girls to overcome the psychological trauma they may have passed through in the hands of Boko Haram terrorists.
He added that experts on counseling would be mobilized from the United States of America to help the girls and parents of those whose daughters are yet to return manage their trauma.
Addressing the parents and some of the escaped girls, Shettima said his government remained committed to seeing that the over 200 girls still in captivity are rescued and brought home safely.
He frowned at the idea being peddled around the country that the abduction of the girls was a hoax, saying nothing could be as ridiculous as alleging that over 200 parents would feign the abduction of their daughters.
“The abduction of Chibok schoolgirls by the Boko Haram gunmen not only affects parents here present in this Council Chamber, but all of us, including my humble self and other stakeholders of Borno State,” Shettima said.
“I have daughters, too, and as a leader, people’s lives and property must be protected, including the rehabilitation of traumatized girls and their parents. These girls have no any other place to go.
“We have also no plans to politicise the abduction of 219 innocent schoolgirls from their school on April 14, 2014 by suspected Boko Haram gunmen. If any person that doubts the abduction of Chibok schoolgirls, let him or her go to the affected town and meet the parents.
We are taking these girls here in this council chamber to a school in either Zaria, or Abuja or Lagos, but we will not disclose the name of the Secondary School in which they will complete their secondary education.”
