Asari Dokubo Says: "No Girls Are Missing, Chibok Is A Scam"

The leader of Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF) Mujahid Dokubo Asari took yesterday to his Facebook page to doubt the abduction of Chibok girls.

Background

More than 230 girls were reportedly abducted in the April 14 night raid on Chibok school, Borno State. Some of the victims managed to escape soon after the kidnap, while the majority are still missing.

The leader of the dreaded Islamic sect  Boko Haram Abubakar Shekau claimed responsibility for the kidnap in the video released 3 weeks after the incident. He said now he owned the girls and would sell them in the market.

Meanwhile the tragedy has caused international rage and concern, with many countries, including USA, China, France, UK suggesting their help in the search process.

Niger Delta activist shared the status of one Tony Nwajei where controversial questions connected with the abduction were raised.

According to Mujahid Dokubo Asari, these are "the right questions begging for answers": why there is such difference in the testimony given by the principal, why none of the girls while trekking from Chibok (almost km) at night didn't try to escape.

SHOCKER: Nigerian Army Admits Lacking Capacity To Rescue Chibok Girls -Activists

Just as many critics of the Federal Government have been saying, the Nigerian military high command has reportedly admitted that it did not have the equipment and weapon to rescue the secondary school girls abducted by gunmen in Chibok, Borno State.

According to latest reports, over two hundred girls are still in the camp of the Boko Haram sect after some of the kidnapped girls reportedly escaped from the captivity of their abductors some days back.

However, one of the Civil society group at the forefront of rallies for the release of the abducted Chibok girls has allegedly said the military high command admitted at a meeting with the coalition that it did not have the equipment and weapon to rescue the schoolgirls.

Jibrim Ibrahim, the head, Mobilisation Committee of the ‘bring back our girls’ group, said some military chiefs told representatives of the movement at a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday that the military spent most of its budget on “expendables” such as fuelling operational vehicles, personnel allowances and other things.

While briefing members of the group on Wednesday on the outcome of their meeting with the Chief of Defence Staff at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja, Ibrahim explained that the military command also said it was hindered by lack of intelligence as well as the strained relationship between the Federal Government and Borno State Government.

Michelle Obama joins worldwide protest over missing Nigerian schoolgirls

First Lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama, has joined the global campaign calling for the release of girls abducted more than 3 weeks ago in Chibok, Borno State.

Barack Obama's wife took to Twitter to express her shock over the Nigerian tragedy:

"Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to bring back our girls."
The tweet of President's wife was signed "-mo," meaning she sent it herself.

Abduction of more than 230 girls carried on April 14 by Boko Haram sect members is not the issue of only national concern any more.

World leading countries, including but not limited to USA, China, France, UK, offered strategic and military assistance in the rescue operation.

Nigerian and international celebrities condemned the outrageous act and joined the #BringBackOurGirls movement.

US Scientists Are Ready To Identify, Reunite Abducted Girls With Families By DNA Test

A group of scientists at the University of North Texas is ready to provide forensic DNA technology for free that could help identify and reunite with their families the more than 200 Chibok girls who were kid­napped by Boko Haram.

Speaking with AFP on Tuesday, the chairman of the depart­ment of molecular and medi­cal genetics at the University of North Texas (UNT), Arthur Eisenberg, explained that software already exists to match missing people with their relatives.

"It has been used worldwide to identify and re­turn more than 740 children who were trafficked, some across international borders," said Eisenberg who heads the UNT Center for Human Identification, the laboratory that works with a 10-year-old international program called DNA-Prokids, which aims to reunite families and deter human trafficking.

Most of all, forensic scien­tists in the United States and Spain say they are ready to help, free of charge. All they need to get started are DNA samples from family members of the lost schoolgirls. “We would do this absolutely for nothing,” said Eisenberg.

First, the girls’ family mem­bers: mother, father or another close relative could provide a DNA sample by swabbing the inside of their mouths with a cotton tip or giving a blood sample.

Then, Eisenberg said, he and colleagues establish DNA profiles of the families using a software system called M-FI­Sys (pronounced “emphasis”).
