These images of the Chibok girls, 12 years ago, shocked the world.   

00:06-00:17 
Hauwa, Ruth’s daughter was among the 276 students abducted by terrorist group Boko Haram. Like Hauwa, more than eighty of them are still missing.  

00:17-00:37 
+++ SOT Ruth Kwakwi, Chibok schoolgirl mother, Kibaku language +++
"Since Boko Haram took my daughter, I haven't heard any news about her. Life has been miserable for me and my family. I am just crying and begging the world to please help rescue not only her but the other girls too." 

00:37-00:55 
Hauwa was 17 years old when she was kidnapped. Today, she would be 29.  

The grief of his daughter’s abduction made Ruth’s husband fall ill, and he never recovered. He died a few years ago, leaving Ruth to care for their other nine children.

"Although we heard some died, I believe my daughter is still alive and I pray she will return soon." 

01:04-01:23
But life has not been easy for some of those that have returned. Maryam who was 14 years old when she was taken, regained freedom a decade ago. She had a son with a jihadist fighter while in captivity. Because of her child, her family has not fully accepted her since she came back. 

01:23-01:47 
+++ SOT Maryam Ali Maiyanga, Returned Chibok schoolgirl, English +++
"I love him. No matter how I got the boy, I will still be happy because he came out of my womb. I thought they would be happy to see me, and welcome me, but nothing like that. Before, I was even regretting coming out. If people outside your family can do that, you will not mind, but people that gave birth to you? You will feel bad." 

01:47-01:50 ((Nat sound of 'bring back our girls' chant))

The abductions led to the global social media campaign #Bringbackourgirls calling for their rescue. 

Former US first lady joined the call.

+++ PTC Azeezat Olaoluwa, DW West Africa Correspondent +++
"Jihadist group Boko Haram gained international notoriety after the Chibok incident and there has been a surge in mass abductions since then. Splinter factions and other criminal groups now operate across the northern region, worsening insecurity in the country and making more citizens lose confidence in the government."

02:19-02:47 
+++ SOT Nkeki Mutah, Bring Back Our Girls member +++
"We feel bad, particularly as members of 'Bring Back Our Girls,' where we stood firmly that if those girls were not brought back to us or to their family members, we would not disperse. If the government abide by what they say, by now, all the abductions or kidnappings across the country would not have happened." 

02:47-02:56 
After such a long wait, they say that all that is left is prayer for the remaining Chibok girls, now women still missing. 

02:46-03:02 
+++ SOT Ruth Kwakwi, Chibok schoolgirl mother, Kibaku language +++
"I feel bad about what happened. I can only be patient and continue to pray." 

03:02-03:10 
+++ SOT Maryam Ali Maiyanga, Returned Chibok schoolgirl, English +++
"I pray that God will bring them out for their parents so that they will be happy too. And then I pray that if they came out, they should show them love, not to hate them, because what happened to them is not their fault." 

3:10-03:22 
The families and loved ones fear that the government may never be able to find them, but bigger concern is that after such a long time, 
they may not want to return.
