i HOPE YOU CAN FIND THE OTHERS
This story, a lot seemed not right with it. I may be wrong but who are the parents of these girls, are they dead or alive, why have we not seen their parents commenting or rejoicing over this matter. Who are the Red Cross Officials that helped broker the release and why have they not commented on the matter anywhere? I still have my doubt but God dey oh.
CNN got tired of using the Chibok girls so they told their terrorists Boko Haram to release 21 girls…..
We will review and take appropriate action.
