Briefing the media on Monday morning, Fatima Maliki, leader of the group, condemned the abduction and called on the government to secure the girls' release.
“Borno youths are passionately appealing to the Federal government to strive towards bringing back our abducted sisters, daughters, colleagues and friends.
Maliki argued that it was President Goodluck Jonathan's duty to secure the girls' release and ensure the security of citizens of Borno state.
"Borno State is under a state of emergency rule and by this pronouncement as stated in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, section 305, all powers concerning security has been suspended from the hands of the Governor Kashim Shettima.
"That translates to the fact that the federal government is the only entity solely responsible for all security situations in the state.
"Therefore the stake holders should stop buck passing and face the task of securing the citizens and freeing our abducted sisters.”
Meanwhile, dreaded Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, has in a video claimed responsibility for the girls' abduction and threatened to sell them.
