On the 14th of April 2014, 279 girls were abducted from their school in Chibok, in north eastern Nigeria.

Since that fateful night some have escaped, many have been rescued but sadly others remain missing.

As Nigeria and the community of Chibok mark 10 years since the kidnapping of the girls, the country has seen many more abductions.

One estimate suggests more than 4,000 people have been abducted in Nigeria in the past 8 months.

So today Alan Kasujja will be looking at how the girls, now women, families and community are getting on. And we hear from the army on what they are doing to find the girls who are still missing.
