According to hm, about 57 of them managed to escape on their own while 219 remain in captivity with Boko Haram close to 2 years later.

“Outraged about the lack of government response, Nigerian citizens mobilized and took to the streets to demand the immediate rescue of the girls,” part of the press statement read.

In the initial weeks following the abductions, they said, there were protests in Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Abuja, Enugu, Ekiti supported by friends and supporters around the world – London, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Paris, Germany and Nairobi to name a few.

“On Thursday, April 14, 2016, will mark exactly 2 years of their unfortunate sojourn in captivity! How much longer must we wait before they are rescued?,” they group said.

As concerned stakeholders and citizens of this country, the Bring-Back-Our-Girls (BBOG) advocacy group has highlighted the plight of these innocent girls even at a global level and engaged the government and other agencies in a constructive manner to secure the rescue of the girls. Our advocacy methodology include a daily sit-out in Abuja, weekly sit-outs in Lagos, Oshogbo, and Ibadan; visits to relevant stakeholders and development of tools like the Citizens’ Solutions to End Terrorism and the Verification, Authentication and Reunification System (VARS).

The BBOG family in Nigeria has engaged on a continuous basis various stakeholders including State Governors; the previous Chief of Defense Staff & National Security Adviser; various UN agencies; Ambassadors of our neighbouring countries and met twice with President Muhammadu Buhari on this matter. Sincerely, we had expected more and will continue to demand more from government than the rhetorics of lack of intelligence and other excuses.
