The kidnapping attracted both local and international observers with globally recognized artistes displaying inscription of ‘Bring Back Our Girls’

Some of the kidnapped victims are still kept captive by Boko Haram terrorists with one of the victims, Leah Sharibu becoming prominent for refusing to deny her Christian faith even in the face of death before the deadly terrorists.

“After 7 years of closure, I have today reopened Government Secondary School Chibok where 276 school girls were abducted on 14 April 2014.

“For now, the school will be operating as a day school and not as a boarding school”, said Borno state government, Babagana Zulum
