A
Nigerian pop singer and peace ambassador has sent shock waves across
social media by offering her virginity to Islamic militants in exchange
for the return of hundreds of kidnapped schoolgirls.
Adokiye, 23, made
the proposal to Boko Haram members to help free the 276 Nigerian girls
which they snatched in April from the largely Christian north-eastern
town of Chibok.
The singer and actress from Imo State told Nigerian newspaper Vanguard
“This is 11pm in
the night and do you know what I am thinking about? Those little girls,
where they are and what could be happening to them.
Adokiye,
pictured here looking natural in a selfie she posted on her Instagram
account, said the kidnapped girls were too young and should be returned
to their families
‘It is just unfair. They are too young. I wish I could offer myself in exchange.’
The UN Ambassador of Peace also added:
The kidnapping, by the Abubakar Shekau led group, has already sparked a worldwide campaign #BringBackOurGirls. It has been backed by celebrities and high-profile leaders like David Cameron and Michelle Obama but Twitter uses weren’t so sure about the merits of Adokiye’s offer.‘They are between 12 and 15 year old girls for Christ sake. I am older and more experienced. Even if 10 to 12 men have to take me every night, I don’t care. Just release these girls and let them go back to their parents.’
Twitter user
Singhatul2014 said the offer was ‘very touching’ and that Adokiye should
be given a Nobel Peace Prize, while user Kunleadefioye asked: ‘And what
can one make of this Adokiye offer – genuine, gallery play, tacky
postering or…’
Meanwhile,
Islamists fighting for Boko Haram are leaving their forest hiding places
after a number of senior militants died as a result of relentless
attacks by snakes and bees, it has been claimed.
Two suspected Boko
Haram gunmen arrested in Maiduguri in north eastern Nigeria claimed
that members of the group have now fled the Sambisa Forest, close to the
border with Cameroon, following ‘incessant snake bites’ and bee stings.
Nigeria’s army
have been trying to flush the militants out the area for months, but it
appears they are now leaving voluntarily in the belief the attacks are
the spirits of their victims haunting them.
