Obasanjo made this statement, yesterday Ocotber 5 while speaking at the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

He said: “I believe that some of them will never return. We will still be hearing about them many years from now, some will give birth to children of the Boko Haram members, but if they cannot take care of them in the forest, they may release them.” Obasanjo said.


It would be recalled that the Chibok girls were kidnapped by the dreaded Boko Haram sect on April 14 in Borno state.

While there are reports that some of the girls escaped, quite a large number of them are reportedly still being held captives.
