Members of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group said they may resume daily protest to the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday. The group said the move became necessary followed the deafening silence of the Presidency over the release of the remaining Chibok girls in Boko Haram captivity. It maintained that since the Federal Government facilitated the release of 82 girls in May, 2017, nothing has been heard on ongoing efforts toward securing the release of the other girls.
The Spokesman of the group, Sesugh Akume disclosed the plan on Thursday in a statement released to newsmen in Abuja. He lamented that the remaining 113 girls have spent over 1, 305 days in captivity and the 'government seems not to be doing anything about it.'
Akume said though the President had in his Independence Day broadcast assured that his administration would secure the release of the girls, the statement may just be political.
According to him “Our movement therefore resumes daily marches to the State House, in order to refocus attention on the plight of our #ChibokGirls and all the incidences of abductions, killings, and general insecurity as well as the abysmally poor handling of the situations; to demand their immediate return.”
