Lagos lawyer and Human Rights Activist, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) has urged the Federal Government to pay reparation to the parents of the 43 students of the Federal Government College, Buni-Yadi, Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State, reportedly killed by Boko Haram for the “irreparable and avoidable loss of the precious lives of their children”.
In a statement in Lagos yesterday, Falana also called on Nigerians to prevail on the government to provide 24-hour surveillance and security in all schools in the Boko Haram-prone areas of the country, adding that it does not appear that government was winning the war against terrorism.
He sympathized with the parents of the slain students, saying the Federal Government should be held liable for the attack on the students.
Falana said: “Since the dreaded Boko Haram sect has been unleashing mayhem on schools to kill innocent students, I have repeatedly called on the authorities to provide adequate security in all schools in the Northeast zone”.
He said it was painful “to say that the mindless killings will continue as long as the federal government continues to deceive itself to believe that the nation is winning the war on terror”.
