Nigeria’s scandalous architecture of insecurity recently yielded the two remaining students abducted from Federal Government College Yauri in 2021. The “giant of Africa” is very much a country that cries
out for its girls.
Yet, a country that knows the joys of beating the paths only women can carve out is also ironically a country at a crossroads. In Nigeria, many of the girls who would be women and should be women face an existential danger from the monster that insecurity is. On the night of 14-15 April 2014, armed Boko Haram operatives stormed the Government Girls Secondary School Chibok in Borno State, and abducted more than 276 girls. The scale and audacity of the abductions sent shockwaves across the country and finally jolted a slumbering international community awake to the immeasurable danger that was slithering out of the Giant of Africa.
On June 18, 2021 armed men stormed the Federal Government Girls College in Yauri where they abducted about a hundred girls and their teachers. While some girls escaped, Dogo Hide, the notorious kidnap kingpin who had planned and carried out the abduction, held on to 11 of the girls until ransom was paid.
