"We can no longer stand idly by and watch as innocent little girls are strapped with explosives by Boko Haram and sent into crowded markets and used as human bombs to kill unsuspecting men, women, and children. Thousands of lives have been lost and innocent people slaughtered at the hands of those who use religion to propagate hate and oppression. My heart goes out to the victims and their families," said Congresswoman Wilson.

"Whether it be in Paris or Nigeria this type of tyranny cannot be tolerated. Bring Back Our Girls!"
