On the 14th April, 2014, over 200 Chibok schools girls were abducted by militant group, Boko Haram. Today is exactly two years since these young girls were abducted in their school and nothing seems to be heard about them.
It is two years of sorrow, angony, tears, weeping, mourning for the parents of the Chibok girls.
Today is also two years since the same Boko Haram bombed Nyanya motor park. I remember that fateful morning the nation was thrown into mourning. I saw how dead bodies were rushed to the National Hospital and other hospitals around Abuja. It wasn’t a pleasant experience at all. It is not an experience you will wish your enemy
That day, the Nyanya bomb blast took place, I went to the National hospital for my eye check up and at about 7:30am I saw the National Emergency Management Agency(NEMA) and other security agencies of rushing to the emergency with victims of the blast. Some had lost their legs, hands, limbs and eyes. I saw people in agony. Deep pain and weeping uncontrollably. It was a horrible experience. As if that was not enough, the news came again of the abducted Chibok girls in their school in Borno State and I ask write this piece they have not been found.
Two years since they were abducted the nation is talking about mass burial for the chibok girls. It is heart breaking that our fine young and promising girls are no where to be found. Some of them are now used as suicide bombers, terrorist for the Islamist militancy group.
I have no doubt in my heart that some of the girls are now mothers against their own wish, some have been converted into Islam, they have experienced serial rape, torture and even hypnotised to do the bidding of the Boko Haram.
The fight of bringing back the girls looks dimmed, all hope seems lost, Nigerians have since lost faith that the girls will come back again. Their parent and loved ones are speculated saying that the bodies children be brought to them for burial. Oh what a pity!
In marking the absence of the Chibok school girls, I call on the Federal government of Nigeria to do everything possible to rescue these girls. For it is on record that recent bombings in the country are carried out by these young girls.
