The Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Mrs Folashade Tinubu-Ojo
has ordered the shutting down of all Lagos Markets in protest of the
adopted girls in Chibok, Borno State.
While leading the
Association of Commodity Market Women and Men of Nigeria, in a protest
on Monday, Tinubu-Ojo called for the immediate and unconditional release
of the over 200 abducted school.
she said as a responsible mother, she could imagine the
ordeal and traumatic experience the innocent girls would have been
subjected to in the hands of the “lawless bandits and mean gangsters”.
She
reckoned that they might have subjected the girls to cruel and
dehumanizing life and called on government and appropriate security
agencies not to spare any efforts to track these girls and reunite them
with their families as soon as possible.
The
Iyaloja-General asked well-meaning Nigerians, pressure groups, NGOs,
religious organizations to keep alive issue around the missing
schoolgirls until they are rescued.
“Members of the
public should be very vigilant about the goings-on in their environment
and volunteer information to security agencies at all times,” she wrote.
The
market women and men clad in red shirts with the inscription “Free Our
Daughters, Our Future,” chanted solidarity songs as they marched to the
Lagos State Governor’s office.
****when will this chibok drama end?
