As a result of the over 200 abducted Chibok girls, the Nigerian children parliament has vowed not to
participate in the May 27 Children’s Day Celebration if the abducted
girls are not released before the day.
Disclosed by the national speaker, Children’s
Parliament, Master Idara Thompson, on Monday May, 12, 2014 at the end of
the 2014 national and state Children’s Parliament Retreat in Uyo, Akwa
Ibom State. He said:
“We are disappointed that in a democratically governed
country like Nigeria, children who were doing public examinations could
easily be kidnapped and turned into sex slaves following what we have
heard."
“We will not celebrate this year’s Children’s Day if the kidnapped
Chibok schoolgirls are not freed. This is the time government must rise
up and tell the world that they are capable of protecting children.”
