Speaking during a meeting with the Nigerian community in Windhoek, Namibia, the First Lady empathised with families of the missing girls and the entire Chibok community where they were kidnapped from.

"As a mother, I am very worried over the abduction of these girls; I share the pains of the mothers whose children were abducted," Patience said.

She also expressed optimism that the girls will be released soon, saying the women of Nigeria have fasted and prayed that God will touch the minds of members of the sect and they will be released safely from wherever they are being held captive, The Nation reports.
