The Chibok Kidnap Controversy: Could this be True..

Alleged conspiracy theory on the kidnap of Chibok School girls, at the moment this story has gained international attention and has by far become this most famous story told in Nigeria recently.  Many have condemned this act but the big question is, “how realistic is this kidnap?”. However, while we condemn the ugly act, we should neutralize our minds and reboot our position on what the true picture really is then re-envisage this issue considering some puzzling facts on this abduction saga.

Nigerians were told two conflicting stories on how these girls were kidnapped.

1.       Story has it that boko haram attacked the school and took the girls;

2.       Story two says the principal released them to military men in uniform claiming they came to protect the girls against possible attack.

The principal just released them like that?  “Hmmmmm” This is not the real twist.

Some Nigerians have been asking questions like:

•  School records of the girls? 
•  Names of the girls? 
•  Pictures of the girls? 
•  Who are their family members and more…?

Borno State government replies that, “it is high security risk to release this information”. Nice story to maintain a possible conspiracy. At what level is this risk measured? In other well organized society such information is released to the public to assist in possible cases were the members of the public can help with recognition/ identification and report situation; this enhances search process because the nearest police station is called. Pictures should be flying on all media houses by now.

When pressure was mounting on demand for the abducted girls’ records, the Borno State Government further claims that the school records of these girls were destroyed by boko haram when they attacked the school on April 14 2014 (04-15-14). 

What about the recent claim by WAEC exposed by the head of WAEC’s office Charles Eguridu who said that they had declared Chibok and other places in Borno State as no WAEC zones due to poor security but for the State governor Kashim Shettima who assured them that security was in place.

Recently mothers who claimed the girls are their daughters were protesting with placards that read:

• We want our girls! (fair enough)
•  Jonathan must go (how does this correlate?) 
•  We'll vote him out come 2015 (sounds political) etc.

I stand to be corrected, I never saw Mothers showing placards displaying pictures, names or descriptions of their missing daughters, what I saw was centered around “Jonathan must  go”.  Another fascinating question is, “are all of these political stunts or politics has hijacked the situation?” 

Following previously stated account of WAEC senior officer Charles Eguridu on Friday during the question and answer session in Abuja organized by First Lady Patience Jonathan who championed the questioning also attended are several women including, wives of state governors, female legislators at federal and state levels, and leaders of various women organizations; the students were registered with WAEC. So, we still have photographs and other information of the girls that registered for WAEC despite the claim that their records were destroyed by Boko Haram.

We are no fools, we see, we think and we understand. If this theory I have projected is near true (being modest) Mr President, please ask for these documents and probe further into this as there could be some political undertone.
