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.

Personnel of the Nigerian military were seen engaging in a fight during the visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Bayelsa on Friday.

In a video spotted on social media, the driver of a Hilux vehicle marked “Naval Police” was seen stepping down from his vehicle and exchanging words with another driver.

After returning to his vehicle, another driver with a rifle approached him and threw a punch at the Naval Police driver, triggering a brawl.

The incident quickly escalated into a free-for-all, with personnel attached to both vehicles exchanging blows, while stunned civilians watched in disbelief.

Gunmen on Friday night killed the traditional ruler of Ochia, Barr Paulinus Ekwueme, alongside security operatives in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State. The attackers ambushed the monarch at the boundary of Assa and Ochia communities after he returned from a trip abroad earlier in the week.

Some security operatives in his convoy were also shot dead. Eyewitness said the monarch and the security operatives were set ablaze after the killing, adding that the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area had been thrown into mourning.

Hrm lives in America, but some in his town accuse him of acquiring lots of wealth coming from the oil in their land and yet they have no nepa (light) and other amenities, and that this angered the youths of his community to take this step. One said Ms Duruaku wrote, “he ate the youth empowerment meant given to him by shell oil company and ran abroad for years”

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has ordered the immediate arrest of the owner of a multi-story hotel that collapsed in Jikwoyi, Abuja last Friday, April 4 and announced that the land would be seized for public use.

LIB had reported that the building crumbled while workers were on site, triggering an emergency response from relevant authorities.

Visiting the site today April 7, Wike said the building was constructed without approval from the FCT Department of Development Control and that all the stop-work notices sent to the builders were ignored by the developer.

Wike confirmed that while there were no fatalities, several people sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. He warned that the outcome could have been far worse.

Announcing the government’s plans for the land, Wike said the FCT Administration will take over the land for public use, noting that those responsible for the illegal construction will face prosecution in accordance with the law.

He added that the local community would be consulted to determine a suitable public-purpose project for the reclaimed site.
