Ten years have passed since the kidnapping of 276 students from Government Girls’ Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State. Recently, survivors, families, and supporters gathered at the school's multipurpose hall for an inter-faith prayer service, focusing on the 92 girls who are still missing.

Emotions were mixed as speakers reflected on the events since 2014, with many questionings why these girls have not yet been rescued. Chibok, situated near the Sambisa Forest, remains haunted by the tragedy.

Despite efforts, only 179 of the abducted students have been accounted for, with some returning as mothers or widows of insurgents. The anguish of parents whose daughters remain missing was palpable during the prayer event, where religious leaders and families shared their heart-wrenching stories.

Seven years post-abduction, the school underwent renovations and transitioned into a day school. Plans are underway to restore its original status as a boarding school for both genders. Brigadier General Bede Amako assured heightened security measures to safeguard the students and Chibok community against future attacks.

According to parental accounts, 271 students were initially taken, with 57 escaping shortly after, and 103 subsequently released with government intervention. Additionally, 20 girls were freed through state efforts, leaving 92 still in captivity.
