We Must Not Rest Until the Chibok Girls are Rescued – Alicia Keys

Multiple Grammy Award winner and American R & B singer, Alicia Keys, speaking in a television interview monitored on CNN, has said it is important to put the spotlight on the abducted 219 Chibok school girls, and not rest until they are released by their captor.

This comes following a candle light vigil, held by the Bring Back Our Girls campaign group in Abuja, last night, to mark the 180th day of the abduction of the girls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State. Here’s what keys had to say:

“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,”
“Six months and nobody is back and the girls are just there because of the need of education and they are abducted? So that is why we must say that we are not allowing this to dissipate, no, we are going to continue to say we are not standing for this, it is not okay,”
