Senate President, Senator David Mark has described as
sacrilegious the abduction of the female students and called
for their release.
In a statement by his Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, in Abuja,
yesterday, Mark said the abduction was embarrassing and that
no nation that had the desire to develop would indulge in such
dastardly act.
He therefore pleaded with the captors to listen to the voices of
reason and release the teenagers.
“Senator Mark imagined the harrowing experience the
students had been subjected to by their captors and the mental
and psychological torture parents and guardians of the
students had faced.”
He said no nation could justify the abduction of the children
whose only offence was that they chose to go to school to
better their lots and contribute to the socio-economic and
political development of their fatherland.
Mark said: “It is a sad commentary and a terrible assault on
our psyche as a people. In the good old days of Nigeria this
was a taboo and unarguably unheard of.”
The Senate President canvassed for synergy between and
among security agencies, especially in the area of information
gathering and sharing to facilitate their rescue, stressing that
the deteriorating situation was making a mockery of the
nation.
