One of the released Chibok girls on Wednesday lamented that
the Federal Government was silent on the release of their colleagues still in
the captivity of Boko Haram.
The student, identified as Tabitha Stover, while speaking at the seventh anniversary of the kidnapping hosted by the Allamin Foundation in Maiduguri, Borno State, said the Federal Government’s silence was killing them.
The student, who noted that their lives had not remained the
same since the incident happened, urged the Federal Government to come to their
rescue.
She said, “I passed through hell, thank God I am back but
many are still in captivity, I am appealing to the government to please come to
their rescue.
“My President, our ministers, our senators, our governors,
please we are pleading, don’t we have right to life? Don’t we have the right to
education? Then if we right to education, why are we suffering, why are others
still in captivity, if we have the right to life, why are we facing this, why
are our parents dying silently and our government are still looking at us like
this and they are not talking?
“Please our parents are still dying; they don’t have anyone
to help. A commoner like me does not have an answer to these question, but I
know that our governors, our president have the answers to these question but
you’re still silent, please are we not a citizen of this country? Let us know
that we are slaves.
“Put yourself in our shoes, how will you feel, if we are
your children or some that are still in captivity are your children; if you put
yourself in our shoes, how will you feel.
“I am not challenging our leaders, I will never do such a
thing, but please if our government are silent, so who will answer the question
among you that are sitting here. If our governors and president are silent, who
will answer these questions, please do not be silent to us because this your
silence is killing us and that is why we are saying that we need freedom, we
are tired of bondage, we are sick and tired of all this.”
