He said. " today is exactly 100 days  since our loved ones were abducted. It was meant to be a journey of 2 hours; however, it turned to be 100 harrowing days. Since then things have not been the same with us.

" we have been talking to the government, we have been appealing to them in the last 100 days to rescue our loved ones, but so far we have not seen much and it is really very disappointing. We are appealing again to the government to do all that is necessary to bring out our loved ones in the shortest time possible.

If you remember, our loved ones spent their Easter in the bush, the Eid-el-fitir in the bush, and we are just three days away from Eid-el-Kabir, we are praying they will spend the Eid-el-Kabir with us.

The families appealed to the president and the service chefs to help secure the release of the victims.

" The government is indebted to us as Nigerian citizens. We are citizens of our country and we should be free to move everywhere and protected because we have surrendered our sovereignty and security to the government," jimoh added.
