Nigerian pop singer offers virginity in return for kidnapped schoolgirls

A Nigerian pop singer Adokiye said she would sacrifice her virginity to the militants Boko Haram, led by Abubakar Shekau, in exchange for the return of the hundreds of schoolgirls they have kidnapped in the country’s north-east.

“It is just unfair. They are too young. I wish I could offer myself in exchange,” Adokiye told Vanguard.

“They are between 12 and 15 year old girls for Christ sake. I am older and more experienced. Even if 10 to 12 men have to take me every night, I don’t care. Just release these girls and let them go back to their parents,” the 23-year-old, from Imo State, said.

A total of 276 girls were abducted on April 14 from the north-eastern town of Chibok, in Borno state, which has a sizeable Christian community. The majority remain missing.

The virginity offer from Adokiye, full name Adokiye Ngozi Kyrian, was generally supported on social media.
