Christian women declare Chibok girls, BBOG as scam

Even as some groups of people risk their lives to protest for the rescue of the Chibok girls, Christian women in Nigeria have denounced the abduction of the Chibok girls in Borno state over two years ago. 

The women, under the aegis of Women’s Wing of the Christian Council of Nigeria (WOWICCN), on Friday, September 9 declared the abduction and the consequent move by the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group to get government to rescue them as ruse.

Vanguard quotes the national president of the group, Rev. Mrs. Omatsola Williams as saying during an interview with newsmen at the second Bi-ennial national convention of the WOWICCN tagged; ‘Women; Goodly Heritage’ in Abuja, that the matter is now being used to promote selfish interests.

“For me o’, I don’t believe that there is Chibok girl. We should not use the life of people to play ‘Jambo’ (game) at all. Some people are using this to make money. Ah ha! How tick is the Sambisa forest is it that people cannot penetrate? “Food for thought; when you come to Niger Delta Area, there is no secret. Let Nigerians do not toil with Nigerians, because before they know it, women will arise and they will see the other side of women,” she said.

 Her words echo those of a group that is in support of President Muhammadu Buhari, which says that the group is distracting the president rather than helping. You can also read all what the group also said about BBOG Ezekwesili in shock as #BringBackOurGirls is declared scam.
