#BringBackOurGirls: Martin Luther King III Calls For The Release Of Abducted Chibok Girls

Son of slain African American human rights activist, Martin Luther King III, has called on the abductors of the Chibok schoolgirls to listen to the cries of the world and release them to their grief-stricken parents.  
Speaking at a colloquium in honour of fallen Niger Delta hero, Isaac Boro, Luther King III also advocated the non-violent approach instead of terror in expressing grievances with government.

 Martin Luther King III has joined in the crusade for the release of the abducted chibok school girls. He said, “I am very concerned about the kidnapped girls in northeastern Nigeria as the world is. And I want to take this opportunity to appeal to those who are responsible for kidnapping to return those precious girls and young women to their families unharmed. Releasing the girls is the right thing to do. I know their parents are hurting and upsetting, it is causing them to suffer even more than they would ever need to and it’s certainly cruel and inhumane. So I appeal to the kidnappers to reject terrorism and violence and show the world that they are people of kindness and genuine humane concern for welfare of these girls.”

He further said, “Terrorism never wins hearts and minds, because it is rooted in fear and violence instead of setting examples that can inspire the best in people. I believe only non-violence can set an enduring example that earns the respect and goodwill of the community.”
 The world eagerly awaits the release of the Chibok girls almost two months after their kidnap.
