Patience Jonathan, Remove Your Hand From Missing Girls Case ––Femi Falana Warns

Yes, we know that #ThereRisGodO but we do not need such
distractions in serious matters. Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi
Falana (SAN), has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to stop
people from further trivialising the abduction of over 200
schoolgirls from their school ini Chibok, Borno State on April
14.
Falana said the comment credited to some individuals,
including Patience Jonathan, that “no child is missing”, is very
sad and capable of deepening the agony of the abducted
children’s parents:
“Why has the Federal Government accepted the offer of the
United States’ Government to join in the "frivolous-search" for
the girls since they are no longer missing?
“No doubt, the incendiary statements credited to certain people
to the effect that “no child is missing” must have accentuated
the agony of the parents of the abducted girls some of whom
had taken part in street demonstrations title ‘Bring Back Our
Girls’.
“To that extent, the panel of inquiry alleged to have been set up
by the First Lady is illegal, unconstitutional, null and void. It
should be disbanded without any further delay.”
“President Goodluck Jonathan should ensure that the abduction
of the innocent girls is not further trivialised in the interest of
our collective sensibility and public morality,” he stated.
He described as insensitive for some highly placed persons to
insist that there was no missing child despite the step by the
Christian Association of Nigeria to publish some the abducted
girls’ names.
He said, “In spite of the inauguration of the Presidential
Committee to investigate the abduction of the over 200 girls
and the publication of the names of about 185 of the missing
girls by the CAN, some political leaders have insisted that no
child has been abducted.
“Such level of insensitivity is being displayed by highly placed
persons at a time that the Boko Haram leader, Abubakar
Shekau, has admitted that the criminal sect abducted the
innocent girls and threatened that they would be sold into
slavery.”
He queried the basis for the government’s acceptance of
international aid to rescue the children if truly the girls were
not missing, as the President's wife has claimed.
