President
Donald Trump met with two freed Chibok girls at the White House on Tuesday.
A photograph
dated June 27 was posted to the official White House website and Twitter page
on Wednesday, showing Mr. Trump, along with his daughter, Ivanka, posing with
two Chibok girls identified as Joy Bishara and Lydia Pogu.
The White
House did not release a statement regarding the Chibok girls’ visit.
Ms. Bishara
and Ms. Pogu were among the 276 students who were abducted by Boko Haram
terrorists from the Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State in 2014.
Pulse NG
reports that the two Chibok girls moved to Virginia after regaining their
freedom. They recently graduated from Canyonville Christian Academy in Virginia
and will attend Southeastern University in Florida at the start of the next
academic session.
At the time
of publication, it remains unclear when the two Chibok girls were freed from
Boko Haram captivity. It would be recalled that the terrorist group released 82
abducted schoolgirls in May in exchange for two Boko Haram commanders who had
been detained by the Nigerian government.
