An apparently angry parent of one of the abducted
Chibok schoolgirls yesterday bemoaned how some
individuals have decided to use them as a money
making venture rather than help them to advance
the rescue mission of their daughters.
Mr Bulama Jonah said he was amazed that some
individuals, both at the state and in Abuja had
turned the abduction of their girls into a franchise
where they could easily buy into for personal
benefits.
“We never knew human beings could be so cold-
hearted until this unfortunate plight befell us.
Nothing could be compared to our daughters. But
unfortunately, when government in the state sent in
relief items for the victims of the abduction, we
witnessed how those food items and even money
were being cornered and diverted.
“When we went to Abuja, monies were given as
transport fare and the whole world was accusing
us of trading off our children for pecuniary
benefits, but little did those critics know that even
we that were invited did not benefit half of the said
amount; it all went into the pockets of some
certain individuals.
“We are not interested in anybody’s money but the
freedom of our daughters; that is all we want from
government under whose custody the girls were
taken. Nobody should be use us for personal
gains; there are lots of atrocities being committed
in the name of our abducted daughters which we
would begin to expose in due course.
“We have been abandoned by everybody, including
the government officials. The only people talking
and remembering us consistently are members of
the BringBackOurGirls group in Abuja whom we
see every day sitting out for the sake of our
daughters; may God reward them,” Bulama
lamented.
