A decade later, with 91 girls still yet to return, and as we reflect on that fateful day, it is impossible to ignore the haunting reality that similar abductions of school children, involving hundreds of victims, have persisted. The Chibok nightmare was supposed to serve as a clarion call for change; a rallying cry for justice. Yet, the echoes of that tragedy have reverberated through the years, largely unaddressed and often overlooked.
The aftermath of returning Chibok and other school abductees is no less harrowing. Families torn apart, communities fractured, and scars etched deep into the fabric of our society.
But hope alone is not enough. We must demand accountability — not just from the perpetrators of these heinous crimes but from those who turned a blind eye, and chose silence over justice. Ten years on, we must advocate for legal reforms and a zero-tolerance policy, to ensure that those responsible for such atrocities are brought to justice, no matter how powerful or well-connected they may be.
