As part of events for the one week of global action organised by the #BringBackOurGirls group aimed at commemorating the one year of the abduction of the Chibok girls from their school in Borno State, special church services will be held today, across the country, for the safe return of the girls.

Speaking at a press briefing, one of the leaders of the group, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, stated that the service will also be held to pray for the parents of the girls, other victims of the insurgency, the North-east and the nation.

She added that prayers will be said to commit the abducted girls into God’s hands in anticipation of a miraculous and supernatural intervention that all effort geared at bringing them back will become successful.

On Friday, special Jumat prayers were also offered in mosques for the Chibok girls to come back safely to their families and for peace to be restored in the Northeast.

Recall that the group also organised a protest march as parts of its one week global action events aimed at commemorating the one year the Chibok girls were abduction from their school in Borno State.

Speaking during the event, Dr Oby Ezekwesili who led the group stated that the protest was to remind the government and the Nigerians that 219 Chibok were still in the hands of their captors even as the days are rounding up to a year when the incident occured.

“We are heading to one year of the abduction. We have continued our sit-out. We have been standing since their abduction. Soon it will be 365, one full calender. The theme for our one year commemoration is ‘364 Days On, Chibok Girls — Never To Be Forgotten’ They will never be forgotten”.

“We are reminding people that for over 300 days the girls have not be rescued. We believed that they can be rescued. We have cities all over the world remembering these girls. The red ribbons we tie on the polls is a reminder that our Chibok girls are not back. People want to move on. But we refuse to move on”, she said.

The group has also urged school girls who want to be the #ChibokGirls Ambassadors, from ages ten to eighteen to register so that they could stand and march for the missing Chibok schoolgirls come 14 April.

It has also called on different schools in the country to also organise a march as part of the Global School Girls March to reawaken the public of the fact that the girls were still not yet home to their parents.
