这次失踪再次引发了人们对博科圣地组织大规模绑架的恐惧。2014年4月，该恐怖组织从奇波克村学校掳走了276名女生。

That kidnapping sparked worldwide anger and led to the formation of the Bring Back Our Girls movement. Nearly four years later, more than 100 of the Chibok girls are still missing.

那次绑架引发了全世界的愤怒，并导致了“救回我们的女孩”运动的形成。差不多四年后，仍然有一百多名奇波克女生失踪。

除此之外还有2万多人遇难，2百万人被迫离开家园，他们大多来自博尔诺州地区。还有20万尼日利亚人在邻国避难。
