The Joint Action Committee of Northern Youths (JACOM) has called on government to secure release of Chibok and Dapchi girls in Boko Haram’s captivity the way they did for Kankara schoolboys in Katsina State who were recently abducted by bandits.
While applauding the government for the efforts put in place to ensure that the Kankara boys regain their freedom, Convener of JACOM, Murtala Abubakar, noted that the Chibok girls have spent 2,600 days in captivity, hence the need to adopt similar strategies used on the bandits in Katsina to free the girls.
The group, in a statement, urged the northern states governors to put aside their political differences and unite to fight insecurity, using the synergy between Zamfara and Katsina states governors, Muhammad Mattawalle and Aminu Masari, to rescue the kidnapped boys as an example.
