Parents of abducted Chibok girls kidnapped from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State have criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for not fulfilling his promise to rescue the girls from the custody of Boko Haram.

The abduction of the 219 girls from their dormitory on April 14, 2014 has attracted local and global concern.

Some of the parent of the abducted girls in a meeting with the BringBackOurGirls(BBOG) group on Thursday in Abuja faulted the president for not keeping his promise.

The leader of the parents, Rev. Mark Enoch accused government as the mastermind of the act citing the fact that the principal of Government Secondary School, Chibok, asked the girls to be locked up in their dormitory so that members of the Islamic sect can easily make off with the girls.

 “This is intentional, the hand of government is in the kidnapping; we want the government to bring back our girls. If they cannot do it alone, they should seek the assistance of the United Nations and some advanced countries, the distressed father said.

Enoch showed gratitude to the BringBackOurGirls group noting that but for it activities and protest the kidnap of Chibok girls would have been totally forgotten.
