President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with parents of more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014.
The meeting took place today after the parents, accompanied by members of the BringBackOurGirls movement, marched on the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to the Bring Back Our Girls group, Buhari who spoke in English and Hausa during the meeting today, spent no time to comfort the parents. He also barred people from taking pictures and did not allow journalists in the hall.
The mood and tone of the July 8th meeting was much warmer than today’s meeting as Mr. Buhari was cold, the group said.
