Serah Luka, not one of Chibok Schoolgirls – Chibok Parents embarass Nigerian Army

The head of the Chibok Abducted Girls Parents group, Yakubu Nkeki has told AFP that the second “Chibok Schoolgirl” rescued yesterday was not one of the 219 abducted by Boko Haram.

Unlike in the first case (Amina Ali), he said the military failed to contact him before an announcement was made last night that a second schoolgirl has been rescued..

“We were able to identify Amina and then establish her parents,” he told AFP. But there was no call before Nigeria’s army announced late Thursday that a second schoolgirl had been rescued.

“Among the girls none of them is from Madagali. They were either from Chibok, Damboa, Askira and Uba (all in Borno state). So I can say… that this girl is not among the abducted Chibok girls.”

Nkeki said his records show only two girls with the surname Luka.

“These are Kauna Luka Yana and Naomi Luka Dzakwa. Among the list of parents we have only four priests and none of them is Luka,” he added.

“Among the girls none of them is from Madagali. They were either from Chibok, Damboa, Askira and Uba (all in Borno state). So I can say… that this girl is not among the abducted Chibok girls.

“We were never contacted by the military for verification of the girl’s identity before the announcement was made.”

A human rights activist in Mubi, Adamawa, who wishes not to be identified, confirmed that Serah Luka was not on the list of the missing.
