It has been 150 days since over 200 girls from Government Girls
Secondary School (GGSS), Chibok, were kidnapped, and they are yet to be
rescued.
A statement, issued by the #BringBackOurgrils movement, signed by
Hadiza Bala Usman, Oby Ezekwesili, Maryam Uwais and many other members,
called on the government and security agencies to save the girls.
“Our advocacy has always been for a singular purpose, that our
Government and security agencies act to save the girls and all other
Nigerians in distress.”
The movement blamed the inability of security forces to rescue the girls on lack of motivation and insufficient arms.

“The reality on the ground today is that the terrorists are well
armed, they are motivated and they seem to have a game plan for carving
out their vision of an Islamic Caliphate from Nigeria and its
neighbours.
“This is happening because our armed forces are not sufficiently
armed or motivated to fight the terrorists. The result is that the
rampaging insurgents are conquering more and more of Nigerian territory.
With over three million Nigerians displaced from their homes by the
ravaging terrorists, no sane person can question the capability
challenges that our armed forces have,” it read.
Elaborating on the dangers of the Federal Government (FG) not
rescuing the abducted girls, and protecting its citizens, it read; “If
Government does not act quickly and effectively, the danger we face is
that of communities arming themselves through local militia. This
solution might appear viable but we believe it is a dangerous one.
