“One said, ‘No, I have a husband. I’m happy where I am’; and then, 82 came back,” Shehu quoted the girl in an interview on Channels Television.

On re-uniting the girls with the families, Shehu said: “Names of the released girls have been published already but we do not want a repeat of duplications that we had when the first set of 21 girls were released.

“Because of similarities in names, we had two or three sets of parents coming on the assumptions that the girls mentioned were theirs. We don’t want to create that confusion,” he stated.

“Photographs of all the girls were taken. These pictures were printed and dispatched to Chibok.

“These young ladies did not all come from Chibok township itself but some from various settlements scattered around the town.”

He explained that once the parents get the pictures and verify the identities of their daughters, they are free to come to Abuja to meet with their daughters.
