Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, has described as heartbreaking the news of the abduction of 317 girls of Government Girls college, Jangebe in Talata-Mafara local goverment in Zamfara State.
She made the call in a statement on Friday.
According to her, “We were confronted with activities of gunmen who stormed another Secondary School in Zamfara kidnapping 31 Female Students. Why? Why? Why?
“While we are still mourning the kidnap of the Kagara boys, we are at a loss at this constant threat to the security of our children. It is very unfortunate that Nigerian children have increasingly become targets.
“As Nigerian Women, mothers and nurturers of life, we can no longer pretend that this is not affecting our psyche.
“As the Minister of Women Affairs, I am desolate and very worried. I am therefore appealing to all those engaged in these mindless act to free our children in captivity and allow Nigeria to thrive.
“While I implore our Security Agencies to do the needful, I call on Nigerian mothers to please join me at this time to condemn in strong words this mindlessness.
“Let us raise our voices in prayers and fasting to the Almighty for His intervention in our land. Enough is enough.
“We remain committed to the goal of a peaceful⁰ Nigeria.”
