The Coalition Against Fake Activists(CAFA) has told Nigerians to hold those it referred to as fake activists responsible for the continued abduction of the Chibok Girls.

On April 14 2014, scores of female students were kidnapped from a Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists.

Six years down the line, many remain in captivity and they have used the opportunity to hug the limelight.

In a statement by Director of Communication and Publicity, Comrade Ibrahim Kabiru Dallah, on Thursday, the activists said the young girls would have been released long ago if not for propaganda and theatrics.

It added that they plan to “mislead Nigerians to ignore the fact that the rescue and release of every person in the hands of fleeing elements of Boko Haram terrorists is a must for the military and the Federal Government.”

CAFA, therefore, warned them that Nigerians will not tolerate the inglorious activities of crisis merchants and fake activists at this period that efforts are on to protect the country from COVID-19.

The group further called for a suspension of their paid activism to allow the world defeat COVID-19 and the military clean out Boko Haram.

Read full statement below:

The Coalition Against Fake Activists(CAFA) has urged fake activists to accept responsibility for the continued languishing in captivity of the Chibok School Girls six years after they were abducted by Boko Haram terrorists.

They must stop teaching Boko Haram to see the Girls as high-profile targets.

It should be noted that while the circumvention of anyone’s freedom is unacceptable at any point in time, the Chibok Girls were taken at a time when the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was in power.

We find it most unfortunate that they took their insensitivity to a new nauseating level by attempting the latest stunt of fake activism.

CAFA hereby categorically warns that Nigerians will not tolerate the inglorious activities of crisis merchants and fake activists at this period that efforts are on to protect the country from being overrun by COVID-19. The current focus on preventing the spread of the virus must not be derailed irrespective of whether fake activists are hungry or not. If they are sorely in need of feed money, they should register with the vulnerable population so that they can receive COVID-19 palliatives.
