One of the released Chibok girls has lamented the fate of her colleagues still in the captivity of Boko Haram.
The girl berated the government’s response to the demands of the parents of the abducted students noting that the silence of those in power was killing.
The student, identified as Tabitha Stover, said this while speaking at the seventh anniversary of the kidnapping hosted by the Allamin Foundation in Maiduguru, Borno State, yesterday.
The student, who noted that their lives had not remained the same since the incident happened, urged the Federal Government to come to their rescue.
She said, “I passed through hell, thank God I am back but many are still in captivity, I am appealing to the government to please come to their rescue.
“My President, our ministers, our senators, our governors, please we are pleading, don’t we have right to life? Don’t we have the right to education? Then if we have right to education, why are we suffering, why are others still in captivity, if we have the right to life, why are we facing this, why re our parents dying silently and our government are are still looking at us like this and they are not talking.
“Please our parents are still dying; they don’t have anyone to help. A commoner like me does not have an answer to these question, but I know that our governors, our president have the answers to these question but you’re still silent, please are we not a citizen of this country? Let us know that we are slaves.
“Put yourself in our shoes, how will you feel, if we are your children or some that are still in captivity are your children; if you put yourself in our shoes, how will you feel.
“I am not challenging our leaders, I will never do such a thing, but please if our government are silent, so who will answer the question among you that are sitting here. If our governors and president are silent, who will answer these questions, please do not be silent to us because this your silence is killing us and that is why we are saying that we need freedom, we are tired of bondage, we are sick and tired of all this.”
