The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Jummai Alhassan, on Thursday, said some of the Chibok schoolgirls released by Boko Haram militants over the weekend would need surgery for various ailments. Alhassan, who said this at a press conference in Abuja, stated that the girls were undergoing treatment that would take a few weeks to complete. The minister said results of the medical tests so far conducted on the 82 Chibok girls, who were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, in April 2014, had shown that some of them need to be operated upon. She stated that the medical screening, being carried out on the girls, would be completed between two and three weeks. In her words, “The 82 Chibok girls are currently undergoing medical screening in Abuja. Some of them need surgery; this should be completed in two to three weeks.”
