The media has been awash with the recent abduction of young secondary school girls in Borno State by a criminal gang supported by their drug induced leaders, perpetrating acts of evil on young and innocent Nigerians. One is left to wonder, whether these animals in human skin are fathered by humans or animals. Even animals have some human angle to their behaviour.
The matter is made worse by Nigerians who have become frenzied by the event and therefore felt they can use it to become popular. Opposition groups also see it as a tool to achieve political gain against the sitting president and the ruling party.
It became painful when people you expected to be more enlightened and smart, people looked upon by majority of ignorant Nigerians, joined the bandwagon, latching on the emotions of a confused and bemused people to lunch their selfish and parochial agenda which has never been for the interest of the rest of us.
Nobody seems to be asking the right questions. Nobody cares about following the normal procedure of doing things. Everybody has suddenly become a security expert with some giving the president ultimatum. I want us to consider the things we have heard concerning this issue of the abducted girls.
Did WAEC write to the Governor concerning their security concern on the conduction of exams which lead to the abduction of the girls?
Is it true that that the Governor assured them of adequate security with one or two men at the gate.?
How come they took the girls without the matrons and some members of the teaching staff?
How many are the girls in question?
How did the ones found escaped and why were they not brought to national television to clear the doubts in some of us?
Are the parents of these students not supposed to report the matter to the police with the true identity of their children if found to be missing, including making statement at the police station?
Is it true that a woman who claimed to be a mother of one of the abducted girls was later found to be telling lies?
How come none of the villagers is able to tell us the vehicle they used and which direction they took?
How is it that the senator who claim to be in touch with happenings with the movement of the girls and their abductors has not being able to provide us with this information before now to help us neutralize this group from their base? Could it be that he was trying to divert the focus of the security agencies from the main pursuit of the criminals?
This is the time for GEJ to stand firm and encourage some of us who still believe in him. We can be counted in our support to assist him deal with these warped minded, drug -induced criminals and their sponsors. We can do away with this outburst of emotions without the use of our thinking faculty.
