PATIENCE JONATHAN TO RESCUE KIDNAPPED CHIBOK GIRLS TOMORROW.

The Boko Haram Islamic sect may soon get
more than what they bargained for as the First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has threatened
to hit the streets in protest if the kidnapped
Chibok schoolgirls are not released promptly.
The First Lady said this yesterday while
meeting with governors’ and ministers’ wives,
female senators, commissioners and more than
200 women from various groups at the State
House in Abuja.
The meeting was organised to ascertain the
exact whereabouts of the missing schoolgirls
who were taken away by men suspected to be
members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect on
April 14.

Initial reports say the girls were spotted at a
Boko Haram camp near Nigeria’s border to
Cameroon but subsequent reports indicate the
girls have been moved to different locations
making it difficult to find and bring them home.
According to Dame Patience, a committee will
be inaugurated to include wives of all relevant
stakeholders at a meeting scheduled for May 4.
“I cannot perpetuate hearsay and rumour; I
must have facts to tell the international
community. We will set up a committee to seek
the truth as women.
“If any of those we call refuse to come, we will
take the protest to Chibok.
“I do not mind being shot as long as they return
our girls to us safely, we are tired of the
kidnapping,” she said.
Jonathan said that the first ladies of Cameroon,
Chad, Niger and various other countries had
called to ask questions and offer assistance on
the matter.
“They intimated me of their readiness to help,
they also asked me questions that I could not
answer and as women we are the last hope of
this nation. We cannot fail our fellow women
and the nation.
