A woman, Hajiya Maimuna Danja, Wednesday died on her way to Katsina to pray for the release of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
The woman, who hailed from Danja in Danja Local Government Area of Katsina State, died in a car crash on the Danja-Katsina road.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Danja was said to be travelling from her village to attend a special prayer session for the release of the girls, organised by the wife of the Katsina State Governor, Hajiya Fatima Shema.
The governor’s wife, who announced the death of the woman during the prayer session, said one other woman who sustained injuries, was receiving treatment at a hospital.
She prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased, and also prayed for quick recovery of the injured woman.
Mrs Shema urged Nigerians to continue to fast and pray for the safe release of the abducted schoolgirls, and for peace to reign in the country.
The governor’s wife called on parents particularly mothers, not to discourage their daughters from going to school as a result of the Chibok incident.
She also urged parents to ensure proper upbringing of their children for them to become useful members of the society.
Mrs Shema stressed the need for religious leaders not to distort the teachings of their Holy Books for selfish interest.
Also speaking, the Chairperson of High Level Women Advocate, an NGO, Hajiya Mariya Abdullahi, expressed optimism that the girls would be freed unharmed, adding that “nothing is impossible to God Almighty”.
The prayer session was attended by different women groups from across the state.

ReplyDeleteYou may as well say there were no bomb blast at Nyanya. Cos ur sista is not envolve, u can say whatever.
ReplyDeleteWe know girls were abducted but there seems to be double counting on d side of d state government. I have seen some names dat have been counted twice. Names like Rejoice, Naomi etc. Some names dat appeared in d former list of 54 still appeared here. I know d girls will come out if d state of emergency is relaxed. D increase in d spate of insurgency in NE is ochestrated to prove to fed govt dat d state of emergency is not working. A rearer of a monster shld expect an attack from d monster later. I have seen where a dog attacked her owner as a result of hunger. We are watching. If d truth most be told there is so much blood letting in d NE. If there is no Nigeria who will these illitrate politicians rule. Soldiers and civillians are dying, even the insurgents dat re misguided by dia religious teachers. How can God ask a man to fight for him? Can a man fight for God? Dat god i will fight for shld come and worship me. Goodluck didnt improverish d North but dia leaders did. A leadership of less dan 4 yrs cant produce d level of poverty and illitracy being displayed in d north. Buhari, Babangida, Abacha did. They never had a plan for dia region dats wat is showing now. Even Abacha made Buhari a PTF chairman atleast allowing him to use d resources of d Niger Delta and d South to develop d North still dat didnt happen for a region witout a seaport one should have xpected d past leaders to develop a world class cargo airport where goods can still be imported from. D present governors are still making d mistake. I heard a Northern governor built a conference center for over 5 billions and motor park for d same amount. How will all these projects develop d state. A region wit a heavy potential in agriculture shld deploy projects dat will be beneficial to d pple in d area of agric. A teaching where a water vendor shld be allowed to marry 4 wives will produce children dat cannot be taken care of. And such children will end up in d hands of religious fundamentalist who will send dem out wit plates to beg for alms on fridays from d baba mutums and these will make dem fall preys to pple dat want to use dem to maim political opponents. Pple shld know dat in death every body will become a spirit and spirits dont marry. What will d so called jihadist use in sleeping wit dia 10 virgins in d so called paradise. Becos as a spirit we need a body to operate wit, so we cant marry as spirits. We know dat our anticipation is not been met by dis present administration d way we want it couple wit d level of corruption going on but we shld have in mind dat a deep hole cannot be coverd over night.
