The United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF) has lauded the release\u00a0 of the armed group that was kidnapped in Borno.<\/p>\n

Recall that the early this month, the armed group were abducted along Kautikari community in the Chibok Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

However, in a statement issued by the organization, they also demanded the immediate release of some of the abducted children.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNICEF is very relieved for the released girls and their families,\u2019\u2019 said Peter Hawkins,\u00a0UNICEF<\/a>\u00a0Representative in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter their harrowing experience, it is good news that the girls are back with their families and friends, where they belong. But sadly, dozens of children in northeast Nigeria remain in captivity; the victims of an armed conflict they have nothing to do with. This is unconscionable. Children have the right to a safe environment, health, education, and freedom from abuse and torture \u2013 all of which remain compromised when they are in captivity,\u2019\u2019 said Peter Hawkins.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren are not the spoils of conflict. All children in captivity must be immediately and safely released to their families,\u2019\u2019 said Peter Hawkins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
