The extremist organisation Boko Haram, which claims to hold those 248 plus girls in captivity, is at large, and no amount of international pressure and aerial surveillance had been able to secure the release of those poor souls. The apathy is that early this month, Boko Haram claimed that it had kidnapped more girl students from the nearby villages, thus embarrassing the government of President Jonathan Goodluck, which had not been able to do enough in bringing them back home.
It is no less than a mystery that the manhunt launched by several countries, including the United States, along with their state-of-art gadgets had yielded no positive results. Whereas, the reclusive organisation claims that they are very much on the Nigerian soil, and not been moved to any neighbouring marshlands. As stated by Nigeria’s former president Olusegun Obasanjo, it is feared that some of the girls may never be able to return home as their life and security had been compromised due to the delayed response of the authorities in going after the culprits. And now the deal that Jonathan’s administration is cobbling with the militants seems to be too little, too late. The media, nonetheless, shouldn’t lose sight of the story and never let the girls end up in oblivion.
