Ex-UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, Pleads For Chibok Girls’ Release

Former UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has urged terrorist group, Boko Haram to release the more than 200 girls it abducted from Chibok, Borno State about 10 months ago.

Brown made the plea via a statement released on Friday, February 20 after the sect released 158 hostages.
“Now they have released some hostages, they should release them all,” Brown said.
“Boko Haram are piling cruelty upon cruelty by failing to free the girls,” Brown, who is now the U.N. Special Envoy for Global Education, added.
The abduction of schoolgirls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2014 sparked global outrage, offers of international assistance and a worldwide social media campaign with the Twitter hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.
He said there would be no let up in the campaign to find and free the girls, adding that if they are not released by the first anniversary of their captivity a vigil will be held at the United Nations in New York on April 14.
