Members of the Chibok community have appealed for the
support of the United Nations in tackling the spate of insecurity in
their community.
Speaking at a news conference in Abuja, the National Chairman of
Kibaku Area Development Association, Dr Pogu Bitrus, said that the
appeal to the international organisation became necessary going by total
neglect by the Federal Government in providing adequate security to the
community after over 200 girls were abducted.
“The inability or unwillingness of the Federal Government to provide
adequate security to the Chibok
community following the abduction of the
girls leaves us with no option than to call on the United Nations to
use its apparatus to come to our aid and protect us from the imminent
annihilation as a people”, he said
Dr Pogu said that 81 days after the abduction, seven parents of the
abducted girls had died, while over 229 persons have been killed after
the attack on Government Girls Secondary School Chibok.
To prevent further attacks on their community and
the north eastern part of the country, the group has also called for a
negotiation between the Federal Government and members of the Islamic
sect.
