The President Muhamamdu Buhari-led Federal Government, has reportedly barred the released Chibok girls from narrating their harrowing experience in the hands of the captors.

This was made known by one of the relatives on the released Chibok girls, Peter Joseph, during a programme on Al-Jazeera titled: “The Stream.”

He said his niece was one of the 21 schoolgirls rescued in October, 2016, while his sister is still in Boko Haram captivity.

Recall, that some of the girls who were rescued since last year, were allowed to return to Chibok, but were kept in a government facility, where their parents visited them.

Peter Joseph however, narrated that the girls were not allowed to go to their parents’ homes.

“I think there is something that the Federal Government does not want us to know, and that is why they are keeping them away. Even when they [the schoolgirls] traveled to Chibok, they were not allowed to go to their houses’,’ Joseph said.

“They were kept in government facilities in Chibok, and anyone who visited them was made to sign a register, state the village where they came from, whom they wanted to see, and then a time limit was given, after which you were asked to leave, and there were certain things that you were not allowed to ask the girls.

“You can’t ask them about their experiences in Sambisa Forest. I mean, we don’t get it. Even now that 82 girls have been rescued, what has the government done about them? Up till today, the families have not met the girls.

He said: “The Women Affairs Minister, is not saying the truth about this. What does she mean by the girls can leave at anytime, when they don’t even allow family members or people that are concerned about them to come close to them?

“I wish she was here, so that I would be able to ask her some questions personally, because this thing has been bothering us the members of the family. The fact still remains that the Nigerian government needs to be open to the family members; the government needs to be open to everyone that is concerned.

“We don’t get it. I mean, are you trying to hide something? Is there something they don’t want us to hear from the girls? What are they hiding from us?”

Joseph further disclosed that, it seemed the girls had been transferred from Boko Haram captivity, to government captivity.

He said: “Nobody is allowed to see them. So, it’s like another imprisonment, but this one has to do with the government.
