It is unclear if today’s meeting with Mr president is only with the parents of the 21 released girls or all the parents of the over 200 kidnapped girls.
Only 21 of the over 200 girls who were abducted from their school hostel in April 2014 by the Boko Haram terrorists were released last week following negotiations with the Nigerian government.
