Members of the #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) group, were on Thursday, April 14th, 2016
prevented from gaining access into the presidential villa, Abuja.
In commemoration of the two year anniversary of the abducted Chibok
girls, the protesters embarked on a march to meet with President
Muhammadu Buhari but they were cut short by police officers on the road
leading to the villa.
Speaking on the incident, leader of the BBOG group, Obiageli Ezekwesili
described the action of the police as a reminder of the military era.
Ezekwesili said the presidency had been informed of the procession of
the group to the villa gate, where they were scheduled to deliver a
message to the government.
While expressing shock at the development, she maintained that the BBOG
would deliver its message on the road in spite of the barricade.
