Hussaini Aliyu, the Chairman of Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area,in Kebbi State, has released the identities of the 25 schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga.
Aliyu disclosed on Wednesday that all the abducted students are Muslims, urging the lawmaker to refrain from making unverified statements that could inflame religious or ethnic tensions at a time when government efforts are focused on rescuing the girls.
Aliyu then dismissed claims by US lawmaker Riley Moore that the abduction occurred in a Christian area.
He noted that the Maga community, under the Zuru Emirate, has never experienced a religious crisis and questioned why the US lawmaker would make remarks that portray Nigeria negatively.
