Some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped from their school’s hostel on April 14, 2014, by Boko Haram insurgents refused to leave their abductors Saturday when 82 of them were freed, a negotiator told Thomson Reuters Foundation.
“Some girls refused to return…I have never talked to one of the girls about their reasons,” said lawyer and mediator Zannah Mustapha who was part of the team that facilitated
the release of the 82. “As a mediator, it is not part of my mandate to force them [to return home].” 82 girls, who were part of the 276 kidnapped from the Government Girls Secondary School, in Chibok, Borno State, were freed last Saturday in a prisoner swap deal after spending more than three years with their abductors.
