SaharaReporters has learned the images depict a meeting between the girls, their parents and the wife of the state governor on the grounds of the school where 276 girls were abducted on April 14th. It shows a group of traumatized girls and their parents as well as the wife of the state governor weeping uncontrollably at the school premises.

As with much of the information about the story of the kidnapping, there are roughly thirty to 50 women depicted in some of the images. Some are of parents who either are overcome with grief over the fate of their missing daughters, or of relief, in reuniting with their loved ones.

The highly emotional images here were taken in front of the Government Girls’ Secondary School, in Chibok, with the remains of the burned out building seen in the background. As reported by SaharaReporters when this story unfolded, at least 16, to upwards of 40 of the reported 270 students, had escaped into the forest, as one of the dozen-odd vehicles driven by the Boko Haram sect had broken down during the kidnapping raid.

The photographs here are believed to have been taken within three to five days after the Boko Haram raid, as a whirl of controversy had been generated around the efforts at securing the lives of the abducted students by the Nigerian military forces.
What is depicted here is a kind of public and highly emotional testimony in Chibok that these young women have shared in a dramatic escape they lived to re-tell. Several girls that escaped from Boko Haram militants are shown here, as they were being moved to a secret location inside an abandoned game reserve, and inside the Sambisa forest.

The actual numbers among the missing students remain inconclusive. The numerical figures have fluctuated, from a low of 210 to 270, by various media outlets. Some media outlets have reported as many as 300 students abducted by the Islamic sect.

These pictures tell a dramatic story of a tiny, and isolated village, the world now has come to know as the site of a mass and disturbing kidnapping.

Nigerians what do you see in the pictures?
