Members of the Chibok community, residing in Abuja since the abduction of schoolgirls by Boko Haram over a decade ago, gathered for a cultural festival.
Despite some returning, a significant portion remains displaced, with thousands living in various parts of the country. During the festival, Representative Ahmed Jaha praised government efforts in recovering some girls but emphasized the need for enhanced security, noting that 87 girls are still in captivity.

“The effort of the government is highly commendable but we are human beings and the journey of 100 miles begins with a step. We have to commend the federal government for recovering some of the Chibok girls but we still have 87 in captivity.
“We are equally quite happy with the way and manner peace has returned to some part of Chibok, but we are still working tirelessly, begging and soliciting for the federal government to provide security where security personnel are not present,” he added.
