The Coalition of Civil Society Network of Lake Chad Basin has described the recent abduction of the Dapchi schoolgirls as a wake-up call on the Federal Government and the military to intensify security in the area.

The Chairman, North East Civic Society Forum, Shehu Ahmed, who spoke on behalf of the CSOs under the aegis of CCSNLCB, during its inaugural General Assembly, in Abuja, on Friday, stated that, “It is the role and responsibility of the government to protect the lives and properties of its citizens.

“If this is not done, then there is a gap; so we want the government to improve upon the level of security.”

Ahmed, who was quoted by the News Agency of Nigeria, said, “It is no longer news, two days ago in one of the states within our region, over 90 girls were abducted.

“The government said that they had been freed, but then we realised that they had not been freed.

“Let them stop playing games with people’s lives; let the government give the right information and let us be sincere in our approach.

“The role of every government is to protect the interest, lives and properties of the affected population.

“It is better for the government to go back to the drawing board and ensure that security is intensified.”
