Serah Luka: BBOG confirms she was a student of Chibok Girls Secondary School

There is yet another twist as regards the  controversy over the identity of Serah Luka, the  second girl recovered by Nigeria’s military on Thursday.

While the military spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman  said she was  one of the 219 school girls stolen by Boko Haram militants two years ago,  the Parents Association of the Chibok schoolgirls said Serah  was not on the list of the girls stolen on 14 April 2014.

In the latest twist,  the Bring Back Our Girls campaigners said the girl was indeed a student of the Girls Secondary School in Chibok, who was however captured in her hometown of Madagali.

A statement by Sesugh Akume, #BringBackOurGirls Spokesperson said the group was excited with the news of yet another rescued Chibok girl.

“According to Haruna Mutali a community leader in Chibok, their background checks have revealed that this second returnee, Miss Serah Luka was an SSS 1 learner at GSS Chibok, who was abducted by the insurgents in her home in Madagali.

“Every citizen returned is victory for us all.

“We appeal to the humanity in us to stay positively focused on emerging developments. We wish to advice caution in disseminating information too promptly, as we appeal that we respect the human dignity of our returnees and their loved ones, as we engage on this topic.

“We commend the gallant Nigerian army, the Civilian JTF, and the other security forces. We are strongly with you, as through great sacrifice you annihilate the insurgents, return our compatriots, reclaim our territories, and restore peace and normality especially in northeast Nigeria”.
