‘Chibok girls continued stay in B’Haram camp dangerous’

An expert in mental health and forensic psychiatry, Dr. Kunle Oyeyemi, has said that the continued stay of the over 200 female pupils abducted in Chibok, Bornu State in the Boko Haram camp was dangerous to the country.

He said the continued stay of the girls in the terrorists’ camp could make them to be sympathetic to the terrorists’ cause.

Oyeyemi, who spoke in an interview with our correspondent on Friday in Osogbo, urged the Federal Government to negotiate with the Boko Haram sect with a view of rescuing the girls.

Oyeyemi, who is the Director, Counseling Unit, Covenant University, said no sacrifice was too much to ensure the release of the pupils who had been held in terrorists’ camp for over 43 days.

According to him, the continuous stay of the girls in the terrorists’ camp would expose them to being abused.

He said, “Federal Government has said it won’t negotiate with terrorists. I believe the government said so because that is what the United States and other countries want. But you need to find out what these countries do behind.

“I believe no sacrifice is too much to secure the release of these children. The government should do anything to ensure that the girls are released, including negotiation.”
