Some delegates at the ongoing National Conference yesterday staged a
mild protest and demanded the release of the abducted female pupils.
The protesters were delegates in the Committee on Labour,
Civil Societies and Sports.
They wore white, black and green shirts with the inscription “Rescue our
girls now.”
The leader of the group and Founder of Women Arise, Dr. Joe
Okei-Odumakin, said Boko Haram must release the girls alive.
She said, “We are worried that since April 14 when our girls were
abducted, we have not heard anything from them. We are therefore embarking on
this mild protest to demonstrate the fact that we feel their pains.
“The Boko Haram terrorists have murdered sleep and they shall no longer
sleep. I can tell you that as parents, we have stopped sleeping long time ago
and that is why we are gathered here to reiterate the fact that the terrorists
have done havoc to our young girls.
“We cannot accept our girls to be swapped for the release of Boko Haram
criminals who are being held by security agencies across the nation’s prisons.
We want them back alive.”
Also, the Chairman of the Committee, Mrs. Bola Ogunrinade, said, “As
parents, we are concerned and we don’t know where the girls are. The girls will
come back alive. Nothing must happen to them.”
Other delegates, who participated in the protest include a Vice
-President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Issa Aremu; the Leader of Market
Women , Mrs. Felicia Sanni; and a former Peoples Democratic Party
Woman, Leader, Mrs Josephine Anenih
