I stayed 40days without food – Chibok Girl

In thanks giving service organized for the 21 girls released by the Boko haram one of the girls that spoke on behalf of the other girls said they are grateful to God for the miracle of their release.

 “I want to thank God for how we are alive today. I did not expect that I will see a day like this. A bomb was thrown close to me, I was seating under a tree but God spared my life. We have stayed for one month 10 days without food but we did not die, this we give God thanks.”

The girl who spoke in Hausa was on Channel Television in the coverage of the thanksgiving service.

There was so much excitement by parents and relatives of the retuned girls. Emotions were high as most of the parents broke down in tears to express their joy and excitement for seeing their children freed at last. Meanwhile more than 100 other girls are still in captivity; the government assured the parents and Nigerians that they are working to ensure the release of the rest of the girls.
