[News] Federal Government Failed To Learn From Chibok Girls Abduction – AI

Amnesty International (AI) has said that the federal government has failed to learn from the kidnap of Chibok school girls four years ago.

In a statement by its Director of the organisation in Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, AI asked the Federal Government to do more in rescuing the abducted Chibok girls and the remaining Dapchi schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu.

Ojigho was quoted as saying: “What happened in Chibok should have served as a wake-up call to the Nigerian government.

“Yet four years on, thousands more women and girls have been taken from their homes and forced to live in captivity, in events largely unnoticed and unreported by media.

“The time is long overdue for the government to deliver meaningful action on behalf of all these victims of Boko Haram’s crimes.

“Far more support must also be provided for past victims. For the families of those still missing, the government should open a register for abducted people, ensuring that the tens of thousands of people living in displacement camps get the opportunity to register their loved ones.”
