The Minister said Adoption of School children especially Young  girls, one too many and is not good for the safety and sanctity of womanhood.

We know the Federal Government will as usual defend its citizens especially children and expedite action for their release.

I am confident that the Military and Security Agencies are on top of the situation so we must all pray along for their safe rescue and release! We call for calm and pray that the girls will come out unhurt.

I appeal strongly to the Abductors  of our Innocent children to abandon this heinous act and return our remaining  Children unharmed to us and their anxious Parents.
