Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described the release of the abducted #Dapchigirls as a moment of joy to the country.

Recall that about 76 of the kidnapped girls were released on Wednesday by their abductors, barely one month after they abduction.

While reacting to the development, Atiku in a statement noted that the country cannot afford to use her citizens as instruments of negotiations.

“This is a moment of joy for all of us as a nation, we may not all be in Dapchi at the moment, but we are all celebrating with the families, the community and the entire Yobe State,” Atiku said.

“We cannot continue to allow our daughters to be used as instruments of negotiation, subject to capture and release at the whims of any group.

“For the sake of our youth who embody the best of our tomorrow, we must confront this Frankenstein monster.

“Working together as a Nation we can and must bring an end to this; not a day must be wasted in finding solutions, we must make it safe so our girls and women in every part of the country can study and flourish in peace.”
