BBOG Campaigners Seek Chibok Girls’ Release, Rehabilitation By March 2016

As Nigeria joins the world to celebrate Mother’s Day, the ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ Campaigners (BBOGC) have asked the Federal Government to ensure that the abducted Chibok girls are rescued and rehabilitated before March 2016.

As they continue their daily sit-out in Abuja, the nation’s capital, convener of the group, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, said that the government should not pay lip service over the fate of the Chibok girls, as the world has joined in calling for their safe return.

Dr. Ezekwesili noted that the mothers of the Chibok girls, having borne huge agony for almost a year, are asking questions on whether or not the government is close to winning the fight to free the girls from their abductors.

The Bring Back Our Girls Campaigners (BBOGC) had, on February 14, launched a formal six weeks count-down for the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls who have been in captivity since April 2014.

According to the group, the countdown would help them monitor the activities of the multinational forces towards the eradication of the insurgents and the rescue of the Chibok girls from their captors.

The group have since continued to express confidence in government’s ability to restore security in the north east and rescue the schoolgirls."
