The Arewa Consultative Forum
(ACF) on Wednesday described the release of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls as
a reassuring development.
The group’s National Publicity
Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim, in a statement, commended the Federal Government
for the effort, adding that the group received the “good news’’ with immense
happiness.
“The release of the Dapchi girls
has certainly gladdened the hearts of the affected parents, relations, the Yobe
State Government and other Nigerians.
“ACF therefore urges the Federal
Government to immediately provide necessary medical facilities and other
psychological therapy for the traumatized girls and also unite them with their
parents.’’
The ACF also commended the
military and other security agencies for their professionalism in collaboration
with other international humanitarian organizations on the release of the
girls.
“ACF wishes to appeal to the intelligence
community and the security agencies to do everything humanly possible to avoid
a repeat of such ugly incidences,’’ the statement read.
Also, human rights lawyer, Mr.
Festus Keyamo SAN, on Twitter, said ”The Dapchi incident isn’t about politics,
please. No side has lost or gained. Govt has no reason to gloat because it
shouldn’t have happened in the first place under its watch. For naysayers, if
they’re your daughters, you would be eternally grateful to whoever brought them
back home.
”Our elation at the return of
Dapchi girls must be subdued by the news of the death of some. Let’s put
politics aside & applaud the rescue as an end which justifies whatever
means was used.
” All sincere BringBackOurGirls
advocates have always insisted on rescue, no matter the means.”
