The group, in their statement said; “Following unjustifiable kidnaps and subsequent murders of innocent women and children, we 'The Alternative' members have considered tasking the government to account for all these murders. We as a nation and a generation believe that the government has a lot to explain since it’s their mandate to protect us and our property. We considered matching to parliament with a coffin as symbol of these kidnaps and murders but also to remind them that we are back into the state of blood which they claim they fought.”
