What happened to the Chibok girls? BBC Africa
Ten years ago 276 Nigerian school girls were abducted by Islamist group by Boko Haram from their school in Chibok, a town in the north-east of Nigeria. The kidnap caused international uproar and sparked a nation-wide campaign. But it would be two years before the first girl managed to escape. She and the others who followed were promised support to re-build their lives. A decade later, with kidnappings once again on the rise in Nigeria, Yemisi Adegoke discovers what happened to the Chibok girls.
