The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement on Monday marched to Aso Rock to continue its call for the rapid rescue of the more than 200 girls abducted over two years ago in Chibok Borno State.
The group which was led by Oby Ezekwesili, former minister of education of the country, was denied access to the seat of government by police men.
The renewed zeal for pushing for the rescue is not unconnected with the recently released video claiming to show the girls alive.
The YouTube video was posted on social media by Ahmed Salkida, who had strong ties with Boko Haram’s late leader, Mohammed Yusuf .
Around 50 girls appeared in the video wearing headscarves behind a Boko Haram militant who called for the release of Boko Haram fighters in return for the release of the girls.
The more than 200 girls were kidnapped from their school hostel in Chibok, Borno state, on April 14, 2014. Some of the girls managed to escape while one was rescued in the Sambisa forest earlier this year.
However, at least 218 are still missing.
