Parents of Abducted Schoolgirls Asking to be Allowed to Go Searching in Sambisa

Distraught, disillusioned and tired of waiting, parents of over 200 abducted schoolgirls said they are mobilising themselves in order to storm Sambisa where the Boko Haram are believed to be keeping them for over 70 days now.

They want to go and rescue their daughters as government failed to do that in about 80 days now.

But some concerned minds felt the move could be more dangerous than their daughters being kept their in captivity - hence the plea for caution.

"We are begging them not risk that dangerous forest, that they should be more patient and continue praying for the day they would see the girls again', said Rev (Dr) Titus  Pona, the chairman of Christian ASsociation of Nigeria (CANB).

 "I am from Chibok and I speak with you right now from my father's compound in Chibok, I can tell that the situation I find my people, especially those whose daughters are still held in captivity, is more than pitiable; they felt they have been left and abandoned by government, they are like taking up their clubs and machetes to go into Sambisa; in short, we had to continually impress on them not to do that, but they feel it was better for them to go there and fight it out than sit at home, while nothing is being done to their poor girls.

"Some of them would rather see the corpses of their daughters brought home for burial than just sit and continue to suffer in trauma of not knowing how the girls are faring out there or what has become of them. We want more action from government, it is nearly 80 days now and silence seems louder than the required action", said Rev Pona.

EchoesINN joins the people of Chibok in worry and feared that should government continue to extend the lives of these poor schoolgirls in the captivity of the most dangerous terrorists organisation whose degree of daily human decapitation and bloodshed has surpassed any documented terror group's in the world, then the authority might be risking a whole tribal nation (Kibakus) perishing - if the the poor locals of Chibok live out their daring resolve to go into Sambisa on their own to face a militia, which is adjudged to be better armed than even the Nigeira army.
