A group of Nigerian parents are excitedly waiting to be reunited with 21 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram 2 ? The girls were released Thursday and flown to Abuja, Nigeria's capital, but it's taken days for the parents to arrive. Abana, the father of one of the released girls, has been living in Nasarawa state neighboring Abuja, expressed anxiety as many of the girls reportedly have been forced to marry Boko Haram fighters. He also said the girls' abduction has been politicized, complaining that, "People's children aren't money, people's children are not clothes you wear to campaign, people's children are their pride." The girls are getting medical attention and trauma counselling in a hospital, said Tsambido Abana, the Chibok community leader in Abuja.
