Boko Haram threatens to kill abducted girls if search is not stopped.

Boko Haram men have threatened to kill the
school girls they abducted in the early hours of
April 15th if the search for them continues. This
is after some Borno women under the auspices
of BAOBAB Women's Right said they are
planning to storm the Sambisa forest where the
abducted girls are believed to be held.
The women said since efforts by the military to
rescue the girls haven't worked so far, it was
time for them to take matters into their hands as concerned mothers.
The Spokesperson for the group, Professor
Hauwa Biu, told newsmen
"We are ready to go into the forest and
search for the girls. In fact, we are prepared
to risk our lives and get up to Boko Haram
camp and appeal to them to release the
children to us so that they can re unite with
their parents. There is nothing
extraordinary in our quest to enter the
dangerous forest. We learnt that some men
in Chibok had earlier embarked on such
mission, which later turned out to be
fruitless. We felt that as mothers, we are in
a better position to have the sympathy and
concern over the fate of the missing girls.
Our target is not to fight the abductors, but
we want to beg them to release the girls in
the name of the God that we all worship."
