Chibok schoolgirls’ abduction: We’re scared, we need more protection – Nigerian children

It is been over three weeks since the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, kidnapped over 200 female secondary school students in Chibok, Borno State. Up till now, the girls have not been found. Meanwhile, the issue has continued to generate wide condemnations, both locally and internationally.Saturday PUNCHwent to the streets to get the reactions of young students. Some of the girls could be their parents only children Adamu Rahmat, 15 What Boko Haram has done by kidnapping fellow students is not right. It is really painful because the students were supposed to be writing their exams. The kidnappers are very heartless because they don’t care what the parents would be going through. It appears that the Boko Haram sect members don’t have human feelings. Some people say that politicians are involved but we don’t really know, so I will advise the government to intensify its rescue efforts. I will urge the kidnappers to release the girls; some of the girls could be their parents’ only children or only daughters. Kidnapping students is very bad Mohammed Abu, 15 I don’t think the insurgency will spread to the states it hasn’t got to already, like Lagos, because it’s been going on for a while now and they have restricted it to the north and Abuja. What they have done is really bad because the students had nothing to do with them, so why kidnap them? The insurgents have their own children, how would they feel if some people kidnapped their children too? Government should strengthen the military to stop all the violence.
