Chibok Update: “I Do Not Mind Being Shot As Long As They Return Our Girls To Us Safely” – Patience Jonathan Threatens To Lead Protest

The First Lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan, has threatened to hit the streets in protest if the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls are not released promptly.
The First Lady said this yesterday while meeting with governors’ and ministers’ wives, female senators, commissioners and more than 200 women from various groups at the State House in Abuja.‎
The meeting was organised to ascertain the exact whereabouts of the missing schoolgirls who were taken away by men suspected to be members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect on April 14.


Initial reports say the girls were spotted at a Boko Haram camp near Nigeria’s border to Cameroon but subsequent reports indicate the girls have been moved to different locations making it difficult to find and bring them home.
According to Dame Patience, a committee will be inaugurated to include wives of all relevant stakeholders at a meeting scheduled for May 4.

“I cannot perpetuate hearsay and rumor; I must have facts to tell the international community. We will set up a committee to seek the truth as women. If any of those we call refuse to come, we will take the protest to Chibok.”
“I do not mind being shot as long as they return our girls to us safely, we are tired of the kidnapping,” she said.
