The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) renewed its call for the release of the remaining Chibok schoolgirls abducted ten years ago. In a statement released on Saturday, Reverend Ozumba Nicodemus, CAN’s National Director for Education, Youth and Women Development, emphasized the ongoing pain of the families and the national importance of securing their daughters’ freedom.
“The trauma endured by the remaining 276 girls is unimaginable,” Rev. Nicodemus stated. “CAN shares the deep anguish of their parents who haven’t known a peaceful night in a decade.” He highlighted the girls’ yearning for freedom and stressed the urgency of their situation.
CAN urged the Nigerian government to intensify efforts and collaborate with all available resources. This includes mobilizing security forces, engaging international partners, and utilizing all avenues to secure the girls’ release. They called for decisive action to end the suffering of the girls and their families.
The statement extends a plea to the international community, humanitarian organizations, and individuals to join the cause. “By amplifying our voices together,” CAN urges, “we can exert greater pressure for their release.”
CAN remains unwavering in its commitment to justice and the girls’ safe return. They pledge continued engagement with stakeholders and advocacy efforts to shed light on the girls’ plight. The statement concludes with a call to unity: “We urge all Nigerians to stand together, demand action from the government, and demonstrate our collective determination to bring our daughters home.”
