Reacting to the new video, Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG, advocacy movement at a special sit-out of the movement, yesterday, in Abuja, expressed its resolve to march on the Presidential Villa in the coming days, except the federal government scaled up efforts at rescuing the girls.

 

The group in a statement signed by its leaders, Oby Ezekwesili and Aisha Yesufu, said in part: “853 days since the abduction of our Chibok Girls, we woke up to a video on the state of our girls.

 

We are left with mixed feelings of grief and strengthened hope as the chilling words continue to sink in.

 

 “Today, 28 months since the abduction, we call on the governments of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, China, Australia, Israel, agencies like the United Nations and African Union, and all who previously expressed intentions to support the rescue efforts, to reengage and adopt a strategic rescue position.

 

As global citizens, this is the least our #ChibokGirls deserve.”
