American R & B singer and multiple Grammy Award winner,
Alicia Keys, has charged all concerned not to give up in
pressing for the release of the 219 Chibok school girls
abducted by the Islamic extremist group, Boko Haram.
Keys said she had taken it upon herself to project the fate
of the girls lamenting as unbelievable the fact that the girls
have stayed in the captivity of the group for more than six
months.
She spoke just as the Bring Back Our Girls campaign group
in Abuja, last night, held a candle light vigil to mark the
180th day of the abduction of the girls from Government
Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.
“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,”
she spoke in a television interview monitored on CNN.
“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,” Keys, who has sold more
than 35 million albums and 30 million singles and is ranked
10th by Billboard Magazine among America’s most
successful R&B singers in the last quarter century, said.
