He is committing a crime for not reporting it to the police. He is supposed to report to the police and not to level wild allegation in the media. He is supposed to report it to law enforcement officers and he has not done so. So he is committing a crime.

But has any politician or political party at all attempted to bribe you?
How can you ask me that type of question? You know politicians and when I answer, they will say tell us the person. Please, don’t ask me that type of question.

Chibok Girls: One Year In Memory, Will they Ever be found?

Today makes it year since 234 or more girls were taken from Chibok. After one year, I do not know how these girls are doing, what effect they will have on us by the time they return. It has been a painful long year. We hope they are safe and good where ever they are.
To celebrate their one year, I am re-publishing this piece I wrote six months ago on the 14th of October 2014. It is a reminder of how long it has been. Read the piece below....
