Almost three weeks after the tragic incident, the Northern States Christian and Elders Forum (NOCSEF), an affiliate of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), this afternoon released names of the female students abducted on April 14 by Boko Haram from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State. On the list are 165 Christians and 15 Muslims, making a total of 180.
The list, which was released in Kaduna on behalf of NOCSEF by President/Founder of Old Time Revival Hour, Kaduna and immediate past NOCSEF chairman, appears to have left out the names of the 53 girls who earlier escaped from the grip of the terrorists. The abducted girls, according to NOCSEF, are as follows:
