The plight of Miss Leah Sharibu the 14 year old Dapchi Christian girl and the abducted Chibok girls once again came to the fore yesterday when the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) Diocese of Lagos Mainland, held it's 3rd Session of the 4th Synod.


The President of Synod Rt. Revd. B.C Akinpelu Johnson who is also the Bishop, Diocese of Lagos Mainland, called on President Mohammadu Buhari to leave no stone unturned in bringing back the abducted girls.

"We urge the Federal government to do all within its power to secure the release of all those still in captivity and return them to their parents. We pray for the Divine presence with these girls and for the manifestation of His power as in the days of Paul and Silas in the Book of Acts."


The Anglican Communion Synod President also called on the Federal government to tackle the issue of insecurity in the country and wondered why the government could easily contain the Biafran agitation but has not been able to deploy the same power to solve the Herdsmen crisis and that of Boko Haram.

The 3rd Session of the 4th Synod event of the church which is a 3 day programme has its theme as: "all things come from you and of your own we have given you." This the Synod President Rt Revd. Akinpelu Johnson said is a Clarion call for the members of the church to continue to give out of the generosity of heart for the building up of the church.
