Sanusi to speak as BBOG commemorates third anniversary of Chibok abduction

Muhammadu Sanusi II, emir of Kano, will be the guest speaker at the inaugural annual Chibok girls lecture, which will hold at Transcorp Hillton Hotel in Abuja on Friday.

Grace Alele Williams, a professor, is expected to grace the occasion as chairperson.

The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement has lined up eight days of activities to commemorate the third anniversary of the abduction of the schoolgirls.

On April 14, 2014, Boko Haram invaded Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state, and abducted 276 girls.

While 57 of them managed to escape, four have been found, 21 released and 194 are still missing.

In an activity sheet sent to TheCable, the movement fixed a special service at the Unity Fountain Abuja by 4pm on Sunday.

At 10am on Monday, BBOG will have a workshop on missing persons register at the Shehu Yar’adua centre, still in Abuja.

On Tuesday, the movement will have an engagement with the public/sharing of citizens solution fliers and ‘ABC of BBOG’s demand’ at Power House junction, Asokoro, Abuja, by 4pm.

On Wednesday, the group will host creative artists at Unity Fountain Abuja by 4pm.

At 10am on Thursday, BBOG will have a media round table at Channels TV.

By 3pm on Friday, the movement will hold a press conference at the entrance of the presidential villa in Abuja, while prayers and tree planting will hold on Friday and Saturday respectively.

The group has been resolute in its demand for the release of the victims despite harassment and intimidation from the powers that be.
