‘Who asked such a large number of girls to converge in the hostel that night? Is it the tradition for girls writing WAEC to converge in the school hostel the night before the exam?’
By Charles Ogbu
When people say that the ChibokGirls abduction was a scam, they are not implying that no girl was taken from Chibok on that night. They are simply saying that the April 14, 2014 so-called abduction of 276 Chibok girls that were supposedly preparing for their physics senior WAEC exam was all a script by the Northern political establishment with the full support of the United States Govt for the sole aim of capturing power with those girls as pawns. And make no mistake, it doesn’t take the current unveiling of USAID to know this. The so many web of embellished lies, inconsistencies and outright contradictions surrounding the whole tale were enough to make anyone dismiss the whole saga as a script..
1) Borno is in the NorthEast region which was rated as the most educationally backward region. It was and is still IMPOSSIBLE to have 276 girls sitting for an elitist science subject like physics IN ONE EXAM CENTRE. You can hardly get that number even in the whole state. Do your research! And none of the girls could speak English as we saw in their CNN interview. So how were they going to write the so called exam?
2) Who asked such a large number of girls to converge in the hostel that night? Is it the tradition for girls writing WAEC to converge in the school hostel the night before the exam?
3) Why did the Chibok school principal, one Hadija Asabe Kwambura, defy instruction from the then education minister and the security agency to relocate the exam centre from Chibok to Maiduguri for safety reasons?? Why did this woman give two contradictory account of the incident which placed her in Abuja and Borno state the night of the incident? And why was the woman made a commissioner by the then governor Shettima of Borno state, after the Chiboksaga– the same Shettima, the woman principal claimed, asked her to ignore the security directive of the then FG and conduct the exam with the assurance of providing security? The same Kashim Shettima that is now the vice president
The Principal’s daughter was not among the abducted girls even when she was at the school the night of the abduction. HOW CONVINIENT!
In early 2016, we saw some of the girls who reportedly claimed they escaped from the Sambisa and found their way out of the forest. So we are supposed to ridicule common-sense by believing that some naive teenagers simply escaped from a group once rated the world deadliest terror group and even technically manoeuvred their way out of the mine-infested Sambisa forest which the army told us is bigger in size than Enugu state?? How?
Where were those girls when our soldiers recovered Shekau’s holy flag and holy Koran and turned Sambisa forest into an amusement park??
What sort of Vehicle did Boko haram terrorists use in carrying almost 300 girls?? How many vehicles were in that convoy and how did such a long convoy manage to drive from Chibok all the way to Sambisa despite the number-less military checkpoints on the road, then??
Considering the logistics involved in taking care of 276 noisy teenagers and moving them from one location to another while still under constant bombardment all those years, how could a technically defeated terror group have achieved this near-impossible feat in the same Sambisa that has been repeatedly been cleared by our military on different occasion and even the Bring-Back-Our-Girls Obiageli Oby Ezekwesili taken round the forest?
The same Sambisa forest where the Americans troops, the British soldiers and Children of Kremelim combed with their superior equipment in search of the girls and left without finding anything?
I am convinced that in their desperate bid to entrench their born-to-rule mentality, the Northern establishment with the full backing of the Barack Obama American govt, played dirty politics with that saga. And I hope they are held accountable someday. And to be clear, the then president Goodluck Jonathan’s failure to unravel that fraud can never be excused even if some might argue he left it alone having seen that the power behind it was more than he could take on.
