According to the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari, Mr. Garba Shehu, there has been an arrangement for the girls to see their parents every three months.
Shehu also said that arrangement was made for parents who are willing to visit their kids could visit them in Abuja.
He said “It is time to put to rest the falsehood that parents of the 24 Chibok Girls who returned earlier are not allowed to see them. This claim is outrightly false.
“By an arrangement put in place, the 24 girls will go home to spend time with their families every three months. They were due to go during Easter but security advice was against that. Instead, Government made arrangements for the parents to come to their girls in Abuja in batches.
“Eighteen of the parents left Abuja on Friday, May 5 after spending three days with their daughters. This can be verified. Another set will also come once arrangements for them are put in place.
