“Many of the parents have identified their children through the photos and I was told that they are coming on Friday,” Tsambido said.
When asked who will bear the cost of the trip of the girls’ parents, Tsambido said, “I don’t know. What the parents told me was that they were asked to come on Friday.
“I didn’t ask if the government would sponsor the trip but usually, the government sponsors such trips.”
Confirming the planned reunion, one of the guardians of the rescued girls, Yahi Dwata said, “It is true. I have received word from parents in Chibok that the government asked them to come on Friday. I will also be in Abuja on Friday.”
