Aisha Musa Maina digs through an old bag looking for memories of her daughter Hauwa, one of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped five years ago by Boko Haram jihadists in northeastern Nigeria.
Their plight moved the world and became a key election issue for President Muhammadu Buhari who was elected a year later on the promise of defeating Boko Haram and returning the girls safe and sound. In a propaganda video broadcast by Boko Haram in January 2018, 14 women claiming to be Chibok girls, three of whom held babies, warned their families they would not be coming home.Thanking the leader of the group Abubakar Shekau, who"married us off" they added:"We are the Chibok girls that you cry for... by the grace of Allah, we will not return to you."Hauwa's father Musa Maina has no idea what has happened to his daughter, although he insists he has not lost hope.
At a big traffic junction in the centre of the economic capital Lagos, drivers no longer pay attention to their pictures hung along the railings.Five years ago the"Bring back our girls" slogan - fuelled by social media - became a powerful rallying cry.
