The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) joined the parents of the 91 captive students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State in pressing afresh for the federal government’s intervention in getting them back home.
The 91 were among the over 200 abducted from the school exactly 10 years ago today by the terror group, Boko Haram, in an attack that sent shock waves around the globe.
As reported by The Nations, about 137 of the girls have either been rescued by security agents or escaped.
The National Director for Education, Youth and Women Development of CAN, the Reverend Ozumba Nicodemus, in a statement in Abuja, sought the support of all Nigerians in demanding renewed action from government to reunite the girls with their families.
The association asked government to mobilise all necessary resources, engage relevant security agencies and collaborate with international partners to secure the release of the captives without further delay.
