Islamic Women Group Protested against Abduction Of Girls

An Islamic women group in Ilorin has condemned the abduction of over 200 students of Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State by suspected members of Book Haram members.

The group, Nasirullahi Fathi Society of Nigeria, (NASFAT) on Tuesday staged a peaceful protest and matched to the
Kwara State Government House in Ilorin, insisting that the members of the sect are not genuine Muslims.

The leader of the Ilorin branch of NASFAT,  Ummuhani Abdulrahman, told the State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, that they were in the Government House to protest the Nyanya Municipal Motor Park killings and female students’ kidnap in the

northeast.

She lamented that, as mothers, they were mostly affected by the kidnapping of girl students and called on various governments to intensify efforts in curbing the menace.

The women leader noted that it was obvious that the frequent bombings and kidnappings had no religious undertone, urging Nigerians to rise to the occasion by speaking out against the crimes.

Receiving the letter of protest from the group, Governor Ahmed of appealed to Nigerians irrespective of political parties, tribes and religious affiliations to come together and beef up security in Nigeria to stem the tide of killings and kidnapping.

He also stressed that all hands must be on deck in addressing the current security situation in the country, saying that security of all, is the responsibility of all.

Governor Ahmed who expressed sadness over the incidence pointed out that it was unfortunate that such calamity befell the nation at this time, stressing that no nation could survive under such atmosphere of insecurity.

It is the prayers of all Nigerians that the students abducted on April 14 will soon regain their freedom and join their parents soon. At least 30 of the girls have escaped from their abductors  while residents of Chibok said over 200 were still missing.
