Saheed Osupa used his stage at a carnival performance to pause the music and speak directly to the issue.
He urged authorities to act quickly, stressing that the families of the abducted children had not enjoyed any special privilege from the nation and deserved urgent protection.
The Yoruba singer's words carried a strong demand for immediate intervention to secure the release of the victims.
He said the government should do whatever must be done to secure the release of the abduction victims, even if they have to negotiate with the terrorists.
“The government should rescue those children. Their fathers and mothers did not benefit from the national cake of this country. Find a way to settle the issue and set the schoolchildren free as soon as possible. The government, I'm talking to you, take actions as fast as possible. Whatever it takes, rescue those innocent kids. If you have to negotiate for their release, then you must. Those schoolchildren needs to be set free ASAP.”
