Five parents of the abducted 219
Chibok schoolgirls have received calls from the phone numbers of their missing
daughters, it was reported on Tuesday. The parents who reportedly called back
the lines were however told off by the respondents at the other end.
The Chairman, Chibok Community in
Abuja, Tsambido Abana, the community planned to report the incident to the
government for investigation.
“Five parents informed me that
they have been receiving calls from their daughters’ phones, but when they
called back, the persons that responded said the phones were their own and that
they should stop calling the lines. We don’t know if the network (telecom
firms) had allocated the girls’ lines to other persons or if the callers were
just playing pranks on the parents; we will report this to the government for
security agencies to investigate,” Abana said.
The Chibok elder could not however
confirm when the parents received the calls, saying he was just informed about
it on Tuesday.
