Buhari has arrived Maiduguri, Borno state
capital to mark the two years since the
abduction of the Chibok girls by the deadly
Boko Haram sect.
This is her second trip to the troubled state
since she moved into the presidential villa in
May.
While presidency said that some members of
the first family will now use commercial
flight, Aisha Buhari uses private jet.
Borno state capital is the birthplace of the
Islamist sect, which emerged as a much
more radical entity in 2009, after Nigerian
security forces killed 700 people in an all-out
assault on its compound in the city.
It’s been two years since Boko Haram
attacked boarding school in northeast Nigeria
in the middle of the night, abducting 276
schoolgirls from their dormitories.
They herded them into trucks and vanished
behind the dense forest brush in the small
town of Chibok. And while some of the girls
managed to escape in the hours following
that terrible night of April 14, 2014, the fate
of 219 remains unknown.
