Reacting to the development, Peter Hawkins, the UNICEF Representative in Nigeria, in a statement issued and signed by the Communication Officer Borno State, Mrs Folashade Adebayo, called for the immediate release of all conflict-affected children held in captivity across the region.
“UNICEF is very relieved for the released girls and their families. After their harrowing experience, it is good news that the girls are back with their families and friends, where they belong. But sadly, dozens of children in north-east Nigeria remain in captivity; the victims of an armed conflict they have nothing to do with”. jamb results
“This is unconscionable. Children have the right to a safe environment, health, education and freedom from abuse and torture – all of which remain compromised when they are in captivity.
“Children are not the spoils of conflict. All children in captivity must be immediately and safely released to their families”, said Hawkins.
