On the night of April 14, 2014, 276 mostly Christian female students aged 16 to 18 were kidnapped by the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram from the Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria.
Prior to the raid, the school had been closed for four weeks due to deteriorating security conditions, but the girls were in attendance in order to take final exams in physics.
Also, 57 of the schoolgirls escaped immediately following the incident by jumping from the trucks on which they were being transported, and others have been rescued by the Nigerian Armed Forces on various occasions.
The Kibaku (Chibok) Area Development Association (KADA), had in January on behalf of the entire Chibok Community, indicated that 110 of the 276 girls abducted in April 2014, are still unaccounted for.
