A former minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, on Friday renewed her call for the release of some Chibok and Dapchi girls kidnapped by Boko Haram.

Ezekwesili made the call as she reacted to the release of over 300 students of Government Science secondary school, Kankara, Katsina State.

The students who were kidnapped from their school last Friday were released on Thursday night.

Ezekwesili who welcomed their release in a statement said Nigeria is not being governed and shows characteristics of a failed state.

The statement posted on her Twitter page wondered why terrorists did not release the 112 Chibok girls and Dapchi girls.

She wrote, “We rejoice in the freedom of our innocent Kankara Boys! But, Nigeria is not being governed at all now.

“All the characteristics of a Failing State are evident in this country and must be averted by citizens.

“Where are the remaining 112 Chibok Girls and the only remaining Dapchi girls, Leah Sharibu who is a Prisoner of Faith?

“Buhari should we assume the 344 (a new number from 333) Kankara Boys went on an excursion to terrorists who have out of magnanimity released them to you?

“When will 112 Chibok Girls and Dapchi Girl, Leah Sharibu also be released by terrorists to an irredeemably uncaring Buhari who has for 3 years and two years respectively not considered it worthy of a Leader to engage their parents? When will our Girls come home?”
