The Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, has challenged the Federal Government to put its acts together
and ensure the release of the abducted Leah Sharibu before its too late.
CAN President, Samson Ayokunle,
while making the call also demanded the release of the remaining Chibok girls
from Boko Haram custody.
Speaking in Oshogbo, the Osun
State capital, Ayokunle said Nigerian government and its security agencies
should ensure the release of the abducted girls because it’s their
constitutional responsibility to do so.
Ayokunle also lamented that many
Nigerians die untimely due to unchecked murderous activities of gunmen and
Fulani herdsmen.
He said, “It is regrettable that
many Nigerians are living in poverty and are not able to fulfil their dreams
because of low income or lack of employment at all. Substantial welfare policy
as well is not forthcoming from the government.
“A very sad case is that of Leah
Sharibu and the Chibok girls that are still in captivity for months and years
now either because of their faith or religious malady of some crazy Islamic
fundamentalists.
“I call on the Federal Government
and the security agencies to put their acts together and release all the
captives before it is too late. These people are too young to die. It is the
constitutional responsibility of government to protect the lives and property
of the governed”.
