Today , Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola urged the Islamist sect Boko Haram to release over 270 Chibok school girls abducted since April 14 during the 2014 Children’s Day celebration in Ikeja , Lagos .
Pupils who participated from various schools were all dressed in red vests with the inscription “Bring Back Our Girls”. They all marched round the venue to the acknowledgement of the governor.
Fashola who addressed the pupils said :
“Somebody asked me what the people who have taken our children want, but the truth is that I do not know.But what I do know is that whatever it is those people want, it is not the children who can give it to them, it is adults .You must not be afraid of going to school. I, your governor, your parents, will do everything we can do to ensure that your schools are safe and that you are also safe in your communities.”
He assured the pupils that the government would do everything to ensure the schools are safe and that the pupils are also safe in their communities . Due to recent rampant kidnapping in the state , he also advised the children not to trust strangers and not to accept gifts from people
