Dear Active Citizen,
Wednesday, April 14, 2021, marked 7 years since 276 #ChibokGirls were kidnapped. Actions took place globally to mark this sad milestone.
- The 5th Annual Chibok Girl Lecture with the theme “Closure and Disclosure” held virtually. Cardinal John Oyekan was the Keynote Speaker. He discussed how kidnapping in Nigeria became an industry, a journey back to 2014. He also urged us not to give up until our girls are free.
- At the BBOG Global Gathering held virtually, themed ‘Until All Are Free’, advocates and citizens urged the Federal Government to bring back the missing girls without further delay. They called for disclosure and closure on #ChibokGirls, Leah Sharibu and other kidnapped victims.
- An interfaith prayer held at Chibok Government Secondary School, Chibok for the remaining 112 #ChibokGirls.
- There was also a march to the Nigerian Consulate in New York to advocate for the release of the remaining 112 #ChibokGirls.
