Just after the Bring Back Our Girls campaign group in Abuja, held a candle light vigil to mark the 180th day of the abduction of the over 200 Chibok school girls last night, American R&B singer Alicia Keys has also lend her voice. Here is what she said during an interview on CNN.
“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.”
“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,” she said.
Alicia Keys had earlier wrote a song titled "We are here" calling for peace in many troubled nations including Nigeria
