A mother to one of the kidnapped Federal Government College Birnin Yauri in Kebbi State has died on hearing that her daughter has been given birth to a baby fathered by one of the bandits who seized her and 96 others girls over a year now. This was disclosed by the Chief Imam of Halliru Bello Juma’at Mosque in Birnin Kebbi, Malam Tukur Kola. He called on the Federal government to step up and rescue the remaining 11 girls still being held hostage by the bandits. Ninety Six students and eight teachers were grabbed from college on June 17, 2021. But the majority of them were released in batches to the Kebbi State government. “One of the mothers of abducted students died on hearing the news of her daughter delivering a baby for bandits,” the Chief Imam said. “Their abductors are alive and staying in the forest of Kebbi and Niger states. How come it’s difficult for the government to secure the students’ release.”
He said the continued enslavement of the girls has been traumatic to the parents. He urged the State and FG to act fast to save the situation.
