Nollywood actor demands release of Chibok schoolgirls •IbadanPoly students decry abduction

Nollywood actor, Femi Adebayo, has joined the call for the release of Chibok schoolgirls abducted by the Boko Haram sect in Chibok, Borno State on April 14.

Speaking during the launch of national jingles of Life Community Care Foundation (LCCF) at Kola Daisi Foundation Youth Education Centre, Ibadan, on Wednesday, Adebayo noted that the children did not deserve to be abducted for any reason.

The jingles, which urged Nigerians to eschew violence, corruption and all evil acts and pray for Nigeria, was launched by Mr Adebayo, with a promise to get the jingles aired in four prominent local and national stations. 

Meanwhile, the All Nigeria United Nations Students and Youth Association (ANUNSA) of the Polytechnic of Ibadan, Eruwa campus, has decried the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State.

The students, who were led by their president, Umar Mariam, to the Tribune House, Imalefalafia, Ibadan, last week, appealed to the Federal Government to take corrective measures and help bring back the girls.

Umar, who is a student of the Department of Business Administration, said “it is very difficult and painful when the innocent girls are separated from their parents,” adding that “ANUNSA Eruwa chapter is saying no to abduction and kidnapping.”

The students urged the government not to leave the students to die in the hands of those who do not believe in the future and free their parents from grief.

“We are leaders of today and we are ready to fight for global peace, social justice and sustainable development. All these cannot be achieved without peace, so let there be peace,” they demanded.
