Nigerian women are set to mount a massive protest for the
release of the 234 girls abducted by Book Haram insurgents on April 15. An
all-red -attired women will march on Abuja on Wednesday to press for the
release of the girls kidnapped from their hostel at the Government Secondary
School, Chibok. Prof. Hauwa Abdu Biu hinted yesterday of the planned protest in
Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, during an emergency meeting convened by the
wife of the governor, Hajiya Nana Kashim Shettima.
The march, which will be tagged “Free our girls”, will
involve women all over the country. “The
last time we were in black, but this time around, the colour for the Abuja
rally is red. So we should all be prepared and mobilised for the rally,” Biu
said.
Hajia Shettima urged wives of the service chiefs in the
state and at the federal level to mount pressure on their husbands to intensify
efforts towards rescuing the girls.
