Make public 2014 Chibok abduction report, BBOG tells Tinubu govt

The #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) movement has urged the Federal Government to make public the findings of the Brigadier General Mohammed Sabo-led Fact-Finding Committee on the 2014 Chibok schoolgirls’ abduction.

In a statement released on Sunday and signed by its spokesperson, Jeff Okoroafor, the group criticized both past and present administrations for withholding the report, despite filing multiple Freedom of Information (FoI) requests for its disclosure.

The Sabo Committee was established on May 6, 2014, by then-President Goodluck Jonathan in response to global outrage over the abduction of 276 schoolgirls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, by Boko Haram terrorists on April 14, 2014. The committee submitted its report on June 20, 2014, confirming the abduction and revealing that while 57 girls managed to escape, 219 remained missing at the time.

Over a decade later, the BBOG movement reports that 141 of the abducted girls have regained their freedom, with many resuming their education.

However, 78 girls remain unaccounted for, raising concerns that some may have been forcibly assimilated into terrorist enclaves.

“The President Bola Tinubu administration has a duty to provide an account of the status of the rescue of the remaining Chibok girls to their families and Nigerians,” the statement read in part.

“We reiterate the importance of bringing closure for the families of the remaining 78 missing schoolchildren.

Critically, the Tinubu administration, like its predecessors, has failed to release the Sabo Fact-Finding Committee Report, despite our movement’s request, including through an FoI process.”

The call for transparency comes as Nigeria continues to grapple with insecurity, particularly in the northeast, where insurgents have carried out mass abductions and attacks on schools.

The movement insists that the release of the report could provide insights into the circumstances of the abduction and the government’s response, as well as offer families long-overdue answers.
