From Nweke Nweke, Onitsha
Community Newspapers Publishers Association of Nigeria (CONPAN) Anambra State Chapter, has called on the Borno State chapter of the group to go underground aimed at exposing those involved and where-about of the innocent Nigerians abducted while in examination hall in one of the schools in Chibok Local Government of Borono State, describing the act as barbaric and total sabotage not only to the administration of His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan but Nigeria at large.
In a press statement released after their emergency meeting held in the temporal office of CONPAN, No.40 Onitsha Road, Nnewi in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State duly signed by the state coordinator and the secretary of the group, Hon. Tempest Udeze and Mr. Willie Rothmans Ekwegbalu respectively, the group condemned the act and appealed for patient of every Nigerians, stating that threat of violence of any kind will not pay the nation any good in the search of the daughters of Zion.
Wondering what could be the sins of the innocent Nigerians and what they could be passing through in the hands of their abductors; CONPAN Anambra State Chapter said they are liaising with the national body of the association in a bid of sending some crime reporters to Borono state to assist in nosing down the area in search of not only the girls but to fish out all involved in the act.
Calling on those who before now had vowed to make the administration of Mr., President ungovernable to have a rethink for the sake of the integrity and the unity of Nigeria as a notion, CONPAN charges the security operatives in Nigeria especially those serving in the Northern States to brace up to the challenges of securing lives and property, adding that this issue should not be swept under the carpet of anyone no matter how highly placed,
Proffering solution to the matter, which has portrayed the image of the nation before the international communities as a country without adequate security network, the grassroot news hunters cum publishers, calls on all well meaning Nigerians to join hands together with the security agents in reuniting the girls back to their parents.
Applauding the media in giving the issue adequate publicity, Community Newspapers Publishers Association of Nigeria (CONPAN) Anambra State Chapter urged the mass media men not to relent in shouting for the way about of school girls, assuring that with the actions of the press, those who held the girls captive will end up in telling to go back to where they came from.
