Ashlee Momoh Foundation Demands Rescue of Borno Pupils

The Ashlee Momoh Foundation, led by CEO Princess Ashlee Momoh, has urged the federal government to intensify efforts to rescue pupils abducted from Lassa and Mussa communities in Askira-Uba, Borno State. The appeal comes as the pupils, including toddlers as young as two years old, have spent approximately 150 days in captivity since their abduction on 15 May from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School and nearby homes.

Momoh emphasized the violation of their fundamental human rights and called for strategic military action to resolve the ongoing security crisis. She expressed solidarity with the parents and families affected, highlighting the emotional trauma they have endured.

The foundation plans to conduct a 21-day peaceful campaign at Unity Fountain in Abuja to demand the immediate and unconditional release of the abducted pupils, encouraging participation from Nigerians and civil society organizations to draw attention to their plight.
