#BringBackOurGirls Group Marks ‘The Girl Child’ Day

The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group have joined the rest of the world to mark the day of ‘The Girl Child’.

This was revealed in a statement delivered by a representative of the group, Abubakar Yusuf in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

They noted that the continuous captivity and prolonged inability of the government to rescue the girls clearly portrays a breakdown of the social contract between the government and the citizenry.

According to the group the Federal Government needs to revamp its combat preparedness and strategies to not only rescue the girls, but also combat the rising cases of young girls and boys being used as suicide bombers to cause mayhem in the country.

BBOG group is a social activist group campaigning for the rescue of the over two hundred girls abducted in a senior secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, North-East Nigeria.

The Nigerian Military has reiterated its commitment to finding the missing Chibok Girls, kidnapped over a year ago.

In an exclusive interview with Channels Television, the Army spokesperson, Colonel Rabe Abubakar, noted that the military does have a strategy towards finding the girls, but the main focus is that the girls are rescued alive.
