The eighty-two rescued Chibok schoolgirls have arrived Abuja to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari in the Presidential Villa.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who confirmed this development, said the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari received the girls at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The girls, who regained their freedom from Boko Haram captivity, would be meeting President Buhari at about four today.

The eighty-two girls were released to international negotiators who have been working in collaboration with the Federal government for their safe return since they were kidnapped in April twenty-fourteen.

Borno Elders Forum, have described reports of the release of the Chibok school girls from the Boko Haram insurgents as a good omen.

Its Secretary, Mali Gubio, said in Maiduguri that credit must go to President Muhammad Buhari, saying the insurgents had succeeded in showing their grievances to the world and “it is now time for the insurgency to end even without the military force.

In response to the announcement of the release of the Chibok girls of the over 200 abducted by Boko Haram, Amnesty International has called for the protection of their privacy, saying it should be made a priority.

Its Nigerian Director, Osai Ojigho, said the release of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls by the armed group Boko Haram was a big relief, however, it is vital now that they receive adequate physical and psycho-social counselling and support so that they can fully reintegrate in their communities.

He said the government should also respect their privacy and ensure the released girls were reunited with their families and not kept in lengthy detention and security screening which can only add to their suffering and plight.

Also, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has commended the efforts of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Government, security operatives, and the International Red Cross on the release of 82 of the Chibok school girls, that were among those abducted by Boko Haram in 2014.

He expressed delight at the development, saying the prayers and well-wishes of Nigerians and the global community had led to the return of more girls.
