The Nigerian authorities say they have started the long process of reuniting the recently released 82 Chibok girls with their families.


Nearly 300 young students were kidnapped by Islamist militants Boko Haram in 2014 from a school in Chibok, north-east Nigeria. Their abduction provoked a global social media campaign.

The 82 were freed on Saturday in exchange for five Boko Haram prisoners, following negotiations brokered by the ICRC.

But their identity needs to be confirmed.

Representatives of parents from Chibok are now travelling to the area with pictures of those who have been released.

Presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu told the BBC that at the end of the careful identification process, the families will then be taken to the capital Abuja to be reunited with their daughters.

Since the introduction of the cashless policy in Nigeria and FCT, as a resident of Lugbe, it is safe not to run out of cash with the intention of getting the ATM to dispense cash, particular in an emergency period. A visit to Federal Housing Estate in Lugbe shows that there are only three banks namely Skye, Fidelity and Wema Banks that services the whole of the Lugbe environs until Shoprite Nigeria opened its Novare Gateway mall in Lugbe, housing just two ATM points from Zenith Bank. It has been a nightmare for residents of Lugbe who want to make withdrawals, especially during the weekends as most of the ATMs operated by these banks either run out of cash or are not capab...

MOTHER APPLIES SNIPER TO DAUGHTER'S HAIR - GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?

By Dennis Naku A nine-year-old girl has died after her mother applied a pesticide, Sniper, on her hair to kill lice. A paediatrician at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Dr Gloria Nwosu, disclosed this in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, while addressing journalists on Thursday. Nwosu said the woman followed the advice of her hairdresser and put the pesticide on two of her daughters, aged nine and four, respectively. She noted that while the nine-year-old convulsed for hours before giving up the ghost, doctors at the teaching hospital saved the four-year-old. “Their mother felt that the hairdresser would know what to do since it has to do with lice. We did everything we could to bring the child back to normal, but it was all abortive. “She (the deceased) was very sick. The second child slumped in our presence and we immediately admitted her and gave her an antidote. So, the question now is how many of these children may have gone through this?” Nwosu said. She explained that t...
