Borno State Governor Should Be Held Responsible For The Abduction of Chibok Girls – Oritsejafor

President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Otitsejafor has said the Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, should be held responsible for the abduction of over 200 Chibok schoolgirls by Boko Haram insurgents on April 14, 2014 for refusing to heed the earlier advice given by the West African Examination Council.
The CAN President said this in a telephone interview with the correspondent of a National Daily, Punch.
He also urged the governor to stop blaming the Federal Government for his failure to protect the lives of the citizens in his state.

He said “The principal of the Government Girls School in Chibok, where the girls were kidnapped, is a Muslim, the vice-principal is a Muslim, so, they should explain where these abducted girls are being kept.

“Despite the earlier advice given by the West African Examination Council that the girls should be relocated to a safer place because Chibok was not safe, the governor and the principal ignored the advice. So, they should be held responsible.

“Many Christians are being kidnapped daily in Borno State. Just recently, a pastor’s wife and her three children were kidnapped and nobody is asking question.

“It is also pertinent that the governors of the three states under emergency rule should be removed to pave the way for the military to ensure security of lives because it appears that the interests of the governors differ from those of the military.”

He also commended the military for their efforts in trying to secure the release of the abducted girls.

He said “The military are doing their job; they are trying their best to secure the release of these girls, so they deserve our commendation.”
