Fraudsters Are Making Money Out Of Chibok Girls Saga - Parents of Chibok Girls Reveal

 

Nigerian fraudsters and other highly placed individuals have reportedly developed a bait known as "format" to catch the unsuspecting kind-hearted Nigerians and corporate bodies from the missing Chibok girls saga.

 

This was revealed through a report by some of the parents of the abducted girls who were students of Government Secondary School (GSS) Chibok, Borno. The report was made to the general public on Sunday, 5th of July, 2015 by Mr Yakubu Maina, the Chairman of the association of parents of the abducted girls, at a news conference in Maiduguri.

 

In his words:

"We wish to alert Nigerians and corporate organisations on the existence of some individuals and organisations masquerading as parents of Chibok girls to defraud them of their money.

“The call became necessary because this group have turned the agitation for the release of our daughters into a scam,” he said.

 

Maina, suppported by the Secretary of the association, Mr Lawan Zanna, lamented that the group had often deceived some parents of the girls into attending their functions only to be duped.

“We have realised that the whole thing have been turned into business by individuals who pretend to be fighting our cause.

“Some real parents had been lured to attending meetings with highly placed individuals in Abuja and beyond only to discover that they have been short changed by these individuals,” Maina said.

He ended by giving an update about the number of parents of the Chibok girls that have passed away which numbers up to 15 as a result of heart-related diseases and trauma.
