BBOG group to resume street protest in October

The BringBackOurGirls coalition said it would resume street
marches in October if the Federal Government failed to take
immediate steps to rescue the remaining 113 Chibok girls in Boko
Haram captivity.

It also asked the government to send “a strong and high-powered
Federal Government team to Chibok to reassure their parents,”
noting that the lack of empathy for the Chibok parents has to
end.

The group, in a statement by Co-coordinators, Florence Ozor and
Oby Ezekwesili, on Thursday in Abuja equally demanded accurate
details on the missing police women and the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation oil exploration team abducted by Boko
Haram.

The BBOG group also asked the government to invite the families
of the abducted victims to demonstrate that it had taken full
ownership of the tragedy and presented them with persuasive plans
for their immediate rescue.

It explained that some family members of the victims had reached
out to the movement for support, stressing that provision of
support to them should be the government responsibility.

The coalition further demanded investigation into the demolition
of a market in Imo State which resulted in the death of a boy.

It admonished the government to address what it called ‘the
growing inequality of the poor nationwide and the disposition of
the Presidency.’

The group said, “Our movement will monitor for tangible outcomes
in the next 30 days, and if the inaction prevails, we will commence
our 72-hourly marches from October 14, and replicate same in
November and December.

“We commend the Federal Government for results achieved so far
as a total of 106 of our missing 219 #Chibok Girls are back.

“We also acknowledge the two reunions so far with their parents,
and actions taken for their rehabilitation and education.”
