Chibok missing girls, Nigerian women take to the streets!


For over two weeks since gunmen raided a school in Chibok, Borno state in northeastern Nigeria and kidnapped more than 200 teenage girls from their dormitories; 


howbeit, the Authorities appears not to be doing much on the situation as affected/ aggrieved parents, individuals and groups took to the streets in a peaceful march against the uncomfortable silence from the Authorities on the issue.  

Hundreds of people, women  dressed in red marched  to the National Assembly in Abuja on Wednesday to demand answers and "concrete and visible" action from the federal government.


An organizer of the march and former government minister, Oby Ezekwesili told news men:


"We note that efforts may be going on, but what the women have come out today to say is that we want swift effort that has results.  And the only results that we know is a swift search and rescue operation and we want to see our daughters come back alive," said Ezekwesili.
