HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (HURIWA) has decided to petition the United Nations Education and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) and the Secretary-General of the United Nations to demand that these international bodies and Leaders put pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to take steps and concrete measures to put to an end the incidents of violent kidnapping of Nigerian Students by different armed non state actors.
We suspect that some members of the Federal Government agencies and security forces are benefiting from the kidnapping of students through ransoms payment. We also think that Nigeria will appear hypocritical in the eyes of International Community if the nation under this government goes ahead to celebrate the forth coming children day celebration and Democracy Day either on May 29th or June 12th without recusing the kidnapped greenfield University student within 24 hours from today.
