Omokri To Buhari: Use Your ‘Close Relations’ With Boko Haram To Rescue Remaining Chibok Girls
Amazon bestselling author, Reno Omokri, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to leverage his “close relations” with Boko Haram insurgents to secure the remaining Chibok schoolgirls’ freedom.
Omokri said this while reacting to the release of 101 out of the 110 schoolgirls that were abducted by the terrorists from the Government Girls Science Technical College (GGSTC), Dapchi, in Yobe State.
The former President Goodluck Jonathan’s aide, while commending Buhari’s efforts in securing the girls’ release, however expressed sadness that some of girls died in hands of the insurgents.
He wrote on his Facebook page, “I commend the Buhari administration for the release of the #DapchiGirls through “back channels”. I welcome the assurances that no ransom was paid.
“I am saddened at the news that some of the girls died and one still remains in captivity because she is a Christian.
“I urge the Buhari administration to do all it can through its “back channels’ to convince Boko Haram to release Liah Sheribu, the Christian girl that they continue to hold, allegedly because she refuses to abandon her Christian faith for Islam.
“I urge no one to politicize her situation, as this may jeopardize her life. Finally, I urge the Buhari government to use their close relations to Boko Haram, which the Minister of Defense described as ‘back channels’ to secure the release of the remaining #ChibokGirls,” said Omokri.
