A United Nations human rights committee has urged the Federal Government to do all within its power to rescue all women and girls abducted by Boko Haram.
The UN also tasked the Nigerian government to ensure they returned to school without stigma.
Recall about 100 of the 270 girls abducted by the terror group at their secondary school in Chibok, Borno State are still believed to be still held captive by the insurgents, UN report says.
“Nigeria should intensify its efforts to rescue all women and girls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents, ensure their rehabilitation and integration into society and provide them and their families with access to psychological and other rehabilitation services,” said the UN panel of 23 experts.
“Of course we commended Nigeria for the rescue of 100 of them who are currently, we’re told, kept in Abuja, going through psycho-social counselling,” panel member, Hilary Gbedemah, told Reuters.
