The Names and Photographs Of Chibok Girls Abducted By Boko Haram have been Publish

On Friday, names and photographs of the 197 girls still in the
hands of the Boko Haram terrorist sect appeared in ThisDay
newspaper - 67 days after almost 300 female students were
abducted from their dormitories of the Government Girls
Secondary School in Chibok town, Borno State.
According to the report submitted by the fact-finding
Committee to President Goodluck Jonathan, which was set up
to look into the matter that sparked national and international
outrage, 276 girls were abducted on April 14, with 219 still
missing. 57 girls managed to escape from their captors ans
were reunited with their families.
The Nigerian government has accepted, received assistance
from and worked together with other countries, including the
United States and the United Kingdom, as well as France,
China, and Israel.
This week, United Nations Special Envoy for education Gordon
Brown, who has met the leader of the community council in
Chibok, said the community leader and the girls' families have
given permission for the names and photographs to be made
public. Also, a list of which exams the girls took shortly before
their abduction was published in the newspaper, with most
girls majoring in "government" (politics) and physics.
Some of the screenshots of the newspaper pages were made
and shared on Twitter by a prominent Nigerian political
commentator and journalist Tolu Ogunlesi.
