Benue Girl Kidnapped, Taken To Sultan-Of-Sokoto’s Palace –Benue Man

In 1996, Maria, the most pious Girl in St Rita's Catholic Church, Badarawa, Kaduna left her house under suspicious circumstances and 3 months later, she was found in the House of some Muslim Igbira Teacher somewhere in one "Angwar"...she was in SS2 then. The father attempted to bring her home by force but was stiffly resisted by the Muslims Youth within the Area with the full backing of the Mai Angwar...the last person that saw Maria is a colleague who met her in the ANC all "Niqabbed up" with black gloves and stocking and black shoes..but Sadness in her voice couldn't be covered by the black drab apparel.
Fast forward to 2014, a very good friend of mine from Abia state lost his 15yr old sister who was kidnapped to a State in the North from Umuahia....the Perpetrator was a Sniper in the Nigerian Military then,....this family went through Hell to get her back but gave up when they saw Pictures of their Last born with a Child on the abductor's Facebook page..I know what they went through in the Hands of the Police to even trace her whereabouts...they solely relied on her last Facebook posts and traced her FB friends to eventually track her down.she had refused to make contact or respond to contact from her family..In desperation, they moved on(they've been hit with multiple tragedies within a short time)
Then The Ese Story! And then this!
Truth is there'll always be an excuse! An excuse for Impunity, An Excuse for Retrogression, An Excuse for Barbarity, An excuse for Fundamentalism..An Excuse for Violence! Same excuse they are giving today to justify the ongoing genocide in Agatu...same excuse why my fellow country man can move about with an Automatic Rifle unchallenged while I get busted for carrying a Laptop in by bag,
