Dr. Odumakin stressed that “until the Federal Government fishes out the sponsors of Boko Haram sects, there is no way it can achieve permanent solution in the fight against the terrorist group”.

While leading some women in the “bring back our girl” protest in Lokoja, the human right activist  told reporters that the need to over haul the security system had becme imperative due to the weakness of the security personnel in tackling the sects.

Odumakin warned the Federal Government against exchanging the girls abducted from their dormitory in Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, borno State, with detained members of the terrorist group.

She further demand that the government should compensate the girls and their families and find means for them to conclude the WASSCE examination they were writing before their abduction

At the end of the protest the president of the group advised the military forces to remain focused, not be intimated and ensure they go to every “nook and cranny” to rescue the girls.
