By Ogbolu George
Parents and relatives of the 82 Chibok girls, whose release was secured from the Boko Haram sect by the Federal Government, have arrived Abuja on Saturday.
After more than two weeks of the girls release, the Federal Government finally made arrangements to transport the parents to Abuja to see their daughters.
Father of one of the girls, Yama Pogu, revealed to The Nation on Friday that the parents were told to meet in Mbalala on Thursday, where they would wait for government-sponsored vehicles that would transport them.
”We held series of meetings with our chairman, Yakubu Nkeki, then he asked us all to gather in Mbalala. That was where we waited for the buses that arrived early on Friday morning.
”We can’t wait to see our daughters after three years. They have not told us if we will be accommodated or not, but we are hopeful,” he said.
