#BringBackOurGirls demands more accountability on Chibok scholgirls, soldiers

The #BringBackOurGirls group has called for proper accountability on the missing Chibok girls and those reunited with their families, as well as detailed reports on the deployed soldiers who have gone missing at the point of duty.

The call is coming on the heels of several reports of missing soldiers in the media after months of their initial disappearance and the recent news on the arrest of a female who impersonated as a soldier.

The group further called on the federal government to reinvigorate the rescue operations for the reunification of the Chibok girls with their families expressing that, it is about time the government goes all out to ensure the rescue of the girls.

Speaking while briefing the press, the chairperson, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, urged the government to not get comfortable but act to see that the year does not end with the girls still in the Boko Haram camp.

“We must not get comfortable, there must be fierce urgency, we need an update from the federal government,” she said.

The group further expressed that, it is not oblivious of the effort of the government thus far but acknowledge that it is not enough as the constant report of soldiers missing and the blindside of the public in knowing the update on the remaining girls is not acceptable, especially on the emotions of the families affected.

The leader of the #BBOG group said the group will continue to persist until the abducted girls are back and alive.

She added that every missing person should be accounted for, as it is not dignifying for citizens to be missing without identifying them, seeing that the office of the citizen remains the greatest office on the surface of the earth.

She noted that when the public are aware of the soldiers who are deployed it would help avoid issues of impersonation, it would comfort the families who know the whereabouts of their loved ones and avoid months of pending news on soldiers and the girls.
