BBOG:Ezekwesili lauds FG commitment in rescue of abducted Chibokgirls.

However; EZEKWESILI condemned the government for lack of commitment towards the release of the remaining abducted girls.

She was addressing newsmen at the entrance to the Presidential Villa in Abuja, as the BBOG group made good its promise to mobilize another round of demonstrations.

The BBOG Convener also expressed shock that the Federal Government and the Nigeria Police Force denied the abduction of some police women by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.

OBY EZEKWESILI said the trend marks a repeat of the denial of the abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls by the last administration in April 2014.

She said the BBOG wants government to expedite action on the release of the remaining Chibok girls and to send a high powered delegation to engage with the parents of the girls in Boko Haram captivity.

The BBOG also wants government to provide information on the women, including some police personnel, who were recently abducted on a road between Borno and Adamawa States.

Our correspondent JAMES IGAH reports that a Special Adviser in the Presidency, BABATUNDE OJUDU, was on hand to received the BBOG protesters.

OJODU commended the group for its resilience and assured that the government is in contact with negotiators across the world to facilitate the release of the Chibok girls. 

The government official said the lack of information in the public domain on ongoing efforts by the government was strategic and in the interest of national security.
