Over a decade has passed since Boko Haram militants abducted 276 students from Chibok’s Government Girls Secondary School. Today, 90 young women remain missing or held captive.
This disturbing reality was confirmed by UN authorities and Nigerian advocacy group Enough is Enough (EiE). Their joint report highlights ongoing concerns about the victims’ fate.
EiE published the revised list of missing individuals via Facebook in April 2025. This action renewed worldwide attention on the unresolved case.
Advocates and UN Verify Current Status
EiE Nigeria marked the 11-year milestone by releasing the names of the 90 still missing. The organization has consistently campaigned for the victims’ freedom.
CEDAW-supported findings indicate rescued survivors face ongoing challenges. Many experience trauma and insufficient rehabilitation support.
Senator Urges Global Intervention
Amid security concerns, Senator Seriake Dickson appealed for international assistance. He emphasized Nigeria’s inability to locate numerous victims.
The senator specifically mentioned Leah Sharibu’s unresolved case. He endorsed proposed measures to address Nigeria’s security crisis.
Global Impact of the Tragedy
The Chibok kidnapping remains a defining tragedy in Nigeria’s history. It sparked the viral #BringBackOurGirls movement worldwide.
High-profile figures like Michelle Obama supported the campaign. Nigeria’s former administration faced criticism for its delayed response.
