Gathering of
ladies from Bama Local Government of Borno State has approached President
Muhammadu Buhari to make the current year's International Women Day paramount
for them by guiding the military to free their relatives who had been kept
since 2015 on the doubt of being individuals from Boko Haram.
In an open letter routed to the President, the ladies, under
the periods of Knifar Movement, said they had done everything without any
result to persuade the military that their spouses were not extremists.
The gathering, which said it had more than 1,300 individuals
at present living in IDP camps in Borno State, asked the President to enable
them to rejoin with "our 1,269 relatives who are confined by the
military."
The ladies said they were disappointed that the military
neither discharged nor charged their confined relatives to court, where they
could demonstrate their guiltlessness.
"Our relatives – in excess of 1,269 men, ladies and
kids – were captured amongst July and December 2015 are still wrongly confined
in Giwa military encampment and the Maiduguri Maximum Security Prison.
"The vast majority of us are from Bama LGA; we were
compelled to leave our homes as a result of insurrection. A year ago, we shaped
the Knifar Movement to request equity and the arrival of our relatives,"
the gathering said in the open letter marked by Kellu Haruna and Fatima Babu.
"Your Excellency, we realize that you are exceptionally
occupied and have difficult issues to manage, yet we don't know who to swing to
any longer. That is the reason we deferentially request your help to intercede,
with the goal that our relatives could be discharged, considering the way that
they are not Boko Haram. They are honest and were just gotten up to speed
simultaneously.
"In the event that the military has prove that our
relatives are Boko Haram individuals, they should show it to an official
courtroom and charge them," the letter additionally read.
