Chibok girls: Parents want case closed, says they have already buried their daughter in their minds

MORE than four months after unfruitful search
for their abducted girls, parents of the
kidnapped Chibok school girls said they want
the matter closed.
Since the girls have been missing for more
than four months, the parents said they
presumed the students to have died for which
their funeral rites have already been performed
in their (parents') minds according to their
custom.

They, however, urged the federal government
bring the girls' corpses for honourable burial.
This position was disclosed yesterday by the
#BringOurGirls advocacy group, during its
daily sit-out meeting for the rescue of the
missing school girls at Unity Fountain, Abuja.
"All they said they want is their corpses to bury
them honourably," the group said.
As a way of driving their demand home, the
group said it is vigorously mobilizing people on
and offline and via social media towards
holding a mega protest march in the FCT.
According to them, over 200 groups in Abuja
have so far been contacted and have given
positive response to participate, with 135
individuals on the group's database contacted.
While calling on federal government to double
its effort to free the girls, the meeting said only
political and military action can rescue our
girls, and that is why we do what we are doing
to compel that.
The group added a new slogan
#NotWithoutOurDaughters! in response to a
question on when it will stop the campaign
