Chibok Women Protest Against "Girls Kidnap" In Abuja, Nigeria

“Our daughters were carried away by the insurgents like cows into the wilderness. If they are dead; we want to see their corpses. For the past two weeks that the incident occurred, nobody has talked to us; has the government thrown away the bath water with the baby?’’

This is coming from mothers and other aggrieved women of Chibok, Borno State. On Tuesday, 29^th April 2014, these women staged a protest at the National Assembly calling on the government to speed up the release of their daughters that were kidnapped from the Government Girls Secondary school on April 14th. 

The women were all dressed in black, after converging at the eagle square they peacefully matched to the National Assembly. Senators Barnabas Gemade and Helen Esuene received the protesters and said the senate was considering raising a motion with respect to the kidnapped girls for the house to deliberate on.
