In an interview with SaharaTV, the senator describes a
video, in which a young girl who had been raped was on her knees begging her
attacker. “They [the girls] said when they rape them, they shoot them,” the senator
said to SaharaTV’s Rudolf Okonkwo, “therefore the girl after being raped, she
curled down to the man, kneeling down and begging him to please be patient.”
This report comes two months after the girls were abducted
from their school in Chibok.
The senator stopped by SaharaTV’s New York studios on the
24th of June, the same day he visited the United Nations to appeal that they
send aid to his constituents who had fled to Cameroon for fear of Boko Haram
attacks.
In the extensive interview, he discussed the condition of
the kidnapped Chibok girls, conspiracy theories surrounding Boko Haram, the
ramifications of the group’s terrorism, as well as his reasons for visiting the
UN, amongst other issues. The senator expresses that he doesn’t think the
Nigerian federal government and military are doing enough, “because still Boko
Haram will go to villages and kill people and then go without being chased.” He
believes that the group persists simply because they are “neglected by the
Nigerian security.”
In Senator Zanna’s opinion, President Jonathan of Nigeria
has to change his priorities, “It is not this presidency that he should look
at,” said the senator, “but let him look at the future of Nigeria, and the
future of Nigerians.”
