American
R&B singer Alicia Keys has implored the Nigerian government not to
relent in their pursuit for the release of the kidnapped Chibok girls.
Keys was
amazed that the girls had been in captivity for over 6 months now, and
campaigned for their release.
She spoke
just as the Bring Back Our Girls campaign group in Abuja, last night, held a
candle light vigil to mark the 180th day of the abduction of the girls from
Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.
“Putting
the spotlight on these girls is very, very important to me and I thought that
it is my job to help shine the light on what is going on and show people: this
is still happening and we must not forget and it is going on for six months,”
she said.
