This question is at the heart of curiosity over the identity of the girl who was described as a JSS1 student by the army.
Up until now, all the kidnapped girls were said to be SSS 3 students writing their final WASC examination at the Chibok centre.
THISDAY has already raised queries on the claim that Serah is one of the schoolgirls.
A review of the full list of the abducted girls published by THISDAY showed that there was no Serah Luka on the list.
The names with some semblance to Sarah Luka on the list included “Serah Samuel”, “Serah Nkeki”, “Kauna Luka” and “Naomi Luka”, the newspaper reported.
Tsambido Hosea, chairman of the Chibok community in Abuja, told TheCable on Friday that he was still trying confirm if the rescued girl was actually a student of the school.
He, however, emphasised that if she was a student of the school then there was “no doubt” that she was one of the abducted girls.
“I have called the vice-principal of the Chibok secondary school to go and check the records to confirm if she is a student of the school. I’m still waiting for a response,” he said.
TheCable also spoke with Tunji Olarenwaju, a member of the strategic team of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement, who said that there was a huge possibility that Luka was one of the girls that were abducted from the girls’ secondary school in Chibok.
He added that her real name might be “Serah Kauna” and not “Serah Luka” as stated by the army.
On Tuesday, Amina Ali, one of the Chibok girls, was rescued by the army, who initially gave her name as “Falmata Mbalala” before correcting itself.
