N50m Reward For Information On Missing Chibok Students


The police on Wednesday offered N50 million reward for anyone with information on the whereabouts of the abducted students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, in Borno State. The girls were abducted from their hostels by the Boko Haram sect on April 14 and have since been taken to an unknown destination by their captors.


In a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, the police assured that such information would be treated with uttermost confidentiality and that the identity of the informant would be protected. The police called on members of the public to be part of the government’s efforts at finding solution to the current security challenges in the country.

The Force urged anyone with such useful information on the whereabouts of the abducted girls to contact the following telephone numbers: 09-2914649, 08081777309, 08055547536, 08032125050 08034617591 and 08035969731.
Last month’s mass kidnapping had triggered international outcry and protests in Nigeria, piling pressure on the government to get the girls back.
The United States on Tuesday offered to send in men and equipment to join the battle to rescue the girls who were snatched away from their hostels on April 14.

United Kingdom and other western nations have also pledged supports to the Federal Government in the bid to rescue the girls.
