The Fate of the Abducted girls,so sad.

A community leader in Chibok, claimed the girls
abducted by suspected members of the Boko
Haram sect had been sold as wives abroad.
According to Pogo Bitrus, leader of a Chibok
elders group, the captured girls are being offered
to Boko Haram fighters at $12 each.
Bitrus said that locals had been tracking the
movements of the hostages with the help of
“various sources” across the northeast.
“From the information we received yesterday from
Cameroonian border towns our abducted girls
were taken into Chad and Cameroon,” he said.
The girls were then sold as brides to Islamist
fighters for 2,000 naira ($12) each, Bitrus
added.
Meanwhile, parents of the abducted girls slammed
the government on Tuesday over failure to rescue
scores of schoolgirls kidnapped two weeks ago by
Boko Haram Islamists.
“May God curse every one of those who have
failed to free our girls,” said Enoch Mark,
whose daughter and two nieces were among the
more than 234 students abducted from the
Government Girls Secondary School in the
Chibok area of northeastern Borno state.
The attack was one of the most shocking in
Boko Haram’s five-year uprising, which has
claimed thousands of lives across northern and
central Nigeria.
