A nurse at the hospital told Nigerian Tribune that the women heard a rumour that government was bringing the girls to the hospital for medication. "But no girl was brought from among those abducted in Chibok," the nurse disclosed.
It was previously reported that most of the kidnapped girls are facing health challenges, while some are said to be pregnant.
The nurse said the women came to hospital at 9am and left after 3pm. She said she wouldn't be surprised if the women came back the next day as they were "not convinced with whatever we told them".
