276 Schoolgirls Abducted By Terrorists For Marriage (The Chibok Girls)

The program

The girls had been preparing for their final examinations when Boko Haram fighters stormed the school, set buildings on fire and forced the students into waiting trucks. Some managed to escape before they were taken into captivity. For the others, the journey led deep into the forest.

Then the world learned what had happened.

#BringBackOurGirls became a global campaign. Governments got involved. Negotiations began. Some girls escaped. Others were rescued or released. And for the families whose daughters never returned, the waiting continued.

In this episode, we go back to the night the Chibok girls were kidnapped, what happened to the girls who escaped, what those who returned endured, and the years of searching for those who are still missing.

More than a decade later, this isn't just a story about an abduction that shocked Nigeria.

For some families, it is still happening.
