The Christian Association of Nigeria has released the names of female students of Government Girls College, Chibok in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, who have been abducted and held captive by members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect for two weeks.
CAN said the violent Islamic sect still has 165 Christian girls from the school in its custody.
The association, which puts the number of Christians abducted at 90 per cent, therefore demanded N50m for each of the students.
But the figure obtained by THE PUNCH on Sunday from the President/Founder of Old Time Revival Hour, Kaduna and immediate-past chairman of Northern States Christian and Elders Forum, Evangelist Mathew Owojaiye, puts the number of the abducted girls at 180.
The document entitled ‘Abomination! Abomination!! Christian girls abducted in Chibok, Borno State’, endorsed by NOSCEF, an affiliate of CAN, enjoined Nigerians to pray and raise their voices to high heavens over the incident.
CAN demanded the following from the Federal Government “whose duty it was to protect the innocent girls” after their recovery.
The organisation said apart from the “N50m damage as trauma compensation” to each of the girls, the government must also undertake “a preparation to take each girl to an overseas university on government scholarship by September 2014″ and that SS1 and SS2 girls in that school must be transferred to schools of their choice, the cost of which must be borne by the government.
The association said, “How can any girl feel safe in this kind of school? Living in perpetual fear of attack? Let God arise, let all His enemies be scattered.”
Owojaiye said, “Daughters of Zion taken captive, to be treated as slaves and sold into marriage to unclean people. Abomination has been committed.
Raise lamentation to High Heavens. What a shame on the church of the Living God.
Chibok Local Government is 90 per cent Christians. Majority of the girls abducted are Christians! Why did Boko Haram visit Chibok Local Government? Why didn’t they visit so many other Local Government Girls Secondary Schools in Borno State?
“The Church in Nigeria is hereby called to a Lamentation Prayer. Every Christian home must raise a lamentation to heaven daily. Let God arise and defend his name, honour and majesty. Let a 15 minutes cry to heaven be done in every hurch, every time they gather.
“Oh God, rent the Heavens and come down! Why should the people say where is our God? The military may not be able to solve the problem but prayer will. Ordinary military force may not get them out! Intensive agonising prayer will do that.”
