Members of the #BringBackOurGirls (#BBOG) advocacy have identified the Chibok girl, who spoke on behalf of her friends in the new Boko Haram video as Dorcas Yakubu.
Dorcas who was abducted over two years ago with her school mates by Boko Haram was identified by a member of #BBOG and spokesperson of the Kibaku Area Development Association (KADA) Dr. Allen Manaseh, in the presence of her parents in Abuja.
#BBOG in a press statement said that the recognition of several of the girls leaves no room for doubt that they are the Chibok girls.
“After listening to the call of Dorcas Yakubu, we demand an immediate, transparent, action and results-oriented response plan by the Government,” former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili and Aisha Yesufu, #BBOG stated in a press statement.
