Boko Haram Issues Death Threats To Parents Of Abducted School Girls In Borno


-
Parents of the hundreds of schoolgirls that were abducted at the Government Girls’ Secondary School (GGSS), Chibok in Borno State have been threatened by the men of the Boko Haram Islamic sect if they do not stop their search for the missing girls.

Further to the action taken by these parents who hired and raised money to buy fuel and water for about 150 motorcyclists to go deep into the Sambisa Forest near the Cameroon border to intensify the search for the missing girls with a local vigilante, the parents have revealed to the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting Cooperation (BBC) that the the deadly Islamic militant sect have threatened to slaughter the girls if they continue with their search in Sambisa Forest. One of the parents said:
“We are seriously disturbed about the abduction of the innocent children. We, the parents, have decided to raise some money to fuel 150 motorbikes to enter the forest in search of our daughters.”

Another parent said:
“We are calling on the government to do everything possible to track these people and save our daughters from them. They should not allow our daughters’ dreams to be shattered by these murderers.
“They took away our daughters and our nieces and we fear for their safety in the hands of these merciless people that take delight in killing and destruction.”

A father of one of the girls said he was willing to die in the forest in an attempt to free his daughter.

Though the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigerian Army, the police, vigilante groups and volunteers are all involved in the search for the schoolgirls, efforts so far have proven abortive.

The school principal, Asabe Kwambura, and parents of the abducted girls had disclosed that the missing girls were 234 in number instead of one hundred and twenty nine as previously believed.

God the Lover of Children will bring them all back in one piece...
