Faces Of Abducted Chibok Girls

Mr brown revealed that he was shown the pictures after visiting Nigeria  where he met the leader of the community in Chibok, the town from where the girls were abducted.
With tears in his eyes, he flicked through a file in which he had recorded the names and photographs of the girls.

The file has 185 pages — one for every girl. Each page has a photograph, and beside each passport-sized picture some stark facts — the girl’s name, her school grade and the date of abduction. For the other 19 abducted girls, he has yet to locate photographs. He will.
The community leader and the girls’ families have given permission for their names and photographs to be put into the public domain so the world is reminded of the missing girls.
