COMMUNICATIONS Coordinator of
International Christian Concern, ICC, Olivia Miller, has urged the
Federal Government to stop lying to Nigerians, but to hunt down
terrorists and end Boko Haram.
ICC, a non-partisan charitable
organisation focused on human rights, religious freedom and assisting
the persecuted Christian Church, told Vanguard: “Boko Haram must be
destroyed in order to ensure that this doesn’t keep happening, but the
government must first stop lying by saying that they have already won.”
On
Boko Haram’s vow to keep Alice and Leah Sharibu as slaves for life,
Miller said: ”This means that they are likely going to keep them
permanently. They are saying that they will no longer accept any ransom
or rewards for them, but will likely use them for work, force them to
convert to Islam, and probably rape and beat them. “Eventually, they
will probably sell them to a rich Muslim man, who will force them to
marry and own them. These are all things that Boko Haram is well known
for doing to young women.
“My only hope is that they are just
using this to try and get more money from the government. This would
mean that there is still a chance that they can be saved.”
Asked
to offer words of consolation to the mother of Leah Sharibu, the ICC
official said: “They miss their daughter greatly and they cannot do
anything to get her back themselves.
“The only thing we can do for them is pray and advocate for Leah and their family.”
