Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central in the National Assembly on Saturday told VANGUARD that all the Chibok schoolgirls who were kidnapped by boko haram terrorists are still alive.   

Sani said, ''I have the belief they are alive because if they were not, certainly, the group in their own criminality and violence, would have announced that they had killed them.

''Dont forget they have been very honest in the past in telling the world who they have killed or not.If they are not alive, certainly, we would have known but they are actually alive and I believe it is an issue which the government needs to thrash out before we go into the final phase of ending insurgency in the Northeast''.

It's about 510 days since the girls were kidnapped.
