Finally, the Department of State Services (DSS) will today, May 30, hand over the 82 freed Chibok girls to the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs where they will begin proper rehabilitation.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this during an interview on Monday, May 29.
Lai Mohammed said the 82 girls, who have been in DSS custody since their rescue, were made to undergo several medical tests and treatment.
PUNCH reports that some of the girls were said to have had bullet and bomb fragments in their bodies and were made to undergo surgeries.
Mohammed said the girls would be handed over to the Women affairs ministry at the Woman Development Centre, Abuja.
He said, “The 82 girls went through medical and mental tests. Some had bullet wounds and their treatment took longer. Now, they have completed all medical procedures and will be handed over to the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.
“The girls will be taken to a new facility. The old one was basically a medical facility because the purpose was just to examine them and treat them. So, any of them that needs further treatment can continue at the new facility.”
Although, the rescued girls have met their parents under strict government supervision, none of them has returned to live with their parents in Chibok.
It remains unclear when the girls will return home.
