Chibok Girls: Pst Tunde Bakare Defends Photo
Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly and Convener of
Save Nigeria Group (SNG) has come under criticism for his recent photo
which surfaced online in which he was smiling wholeheartedly while
holding a banner asking the Government to rescue the abducted girls.
The banner had the inscription, ‘Rescue Our Girls Now’, a campaign by the Women Arise movement, led by prominent Nigerian female activist, Joe Okei-Odumakin.
A lot of people were bothered why he had to smile over worrisome issue of terrorism in the photograph.
Speaking to Sahara Reporters on why he smiled, he said it is because
he knows God is bigger than Boko Haram and the Federal Government of
Nigeria as a whole.

Backing up his reply with the scriptures, the Pastor said: “To the question why do the heathen rage and why do they imagine vain things, the Kings of the earth plot together against the Lord and against His anointed. God’s answer in Psalm 2 will shock you. It says he that the siteth in Heaven shall laugh, and that was my posture in the photo.”

Apart from the few who managed to escape, majority of the girls are still being held captive by their abductors.
Though the government claims to know where the girls are being held by the captors, they have not been able to rescue any one because according to them, they do not want to harm the girls in the process of rescuing them.
Meanwhile, the traumatized parents of the missing girls have called on the Federal Government to go to Sambisa forest and bring back the corpse of their children dead or alive.
