Police Stop Bring Back Our Girls Protest In Abuja

comments
by AIT / 4 years ago / Nation 

The Nigerian Police, on Thursday, stopped the street protest by members of the #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) movement along the Shehu Shagari Way, Abuja.

About 20 police officers blocked the Shehu Shagari Way, Abuja, with their vehicles at the junction to the Presidential Villa, as activists shared fliers to motorists to remind them of the fate of the 219 Chibok girls still in Boko Haram captivity. The barricade enraged some of the protesters.

The #BBOG members had earlier walked to the National Assembly gate, castigating the lawmakers for going on Christmas holidays while the abducted girls are dying in the hands of the captors.

According to one of the Co-founders of the group, Oby Ezekwesili, “The lawmakers should be ashamed of themselves for going on break while the Chibok girls are with wicked men in the bush.”

After they made a u-turn towards the Presidential Villa junction, about 20 policemen in four vehicles quickly drove to the junction and blocked it, to prevent the protesters from heading that way.

The enraged protesters raised questions about the action of the Police as well as the efforts of the Federal Government at supporting Internally Displaced Persons and other victims of the insurgency.

A member, Bukky Shonibare, noted that even 98 per cent of the IDPs are not living in government-reserved areas but with private families.

She explained that the displaced persons were suffering, adding that most of them lacked food, shelter and clothing.

She stressed that the Victim Support Fund initiative of President Jonathan should have yielded more notable results in the lives of the terror victims.

According to her, “Only 6,500 IDPs are living in government camps, the rest, about 500,000 people are staying with private families in Yola and they are really suffering. We took relief materials to them and they were just crying, they have no clothes, no blankets, some of them sleep on bare ground.”

“What happened to the billions raised for the Victim Support Fund? What happened to the Victim Support Fund?
