Parents of the 110 girls abducted by Boko Haram at the Government Girls’ Technical College, Dapchi, on Thursday wept uncontrollably while demanding that the Federal Government rescues their daughters.
The parents numbering dozens carried placards with various inscriptions and marched to the gate of the National Assembly.
They lamented the porous security in Dapchi and other towns in the insurgency-ravaged North East and vowed never to rest until the girls are returned in safety.
One of the parents, Yahaya Taributu, whose three daughters were among the abducted, lamented the withdrawal of security from the town 21 days before the incident.
However, he expressed optimism and faith in the Federal Government’s efforts to locate the girls and rescue them.
“Government should go and bring back our daughters.
“We don’t know why government had to withdraw the soldiers, but we believe that government knows better. We cannot, and will not rest, over this matter, until we meet four eyes with our daughters”.
The parents who wore black t-shirts with the inscription “We Are Dapchi People” lamented that there had not been any contact with them by any government agency since the abduction.
A mother, Aisha Alhaji Bukar, wept uncontrollably, saying that her daughter’s abduction had left her in sorry and pain.
