No amount of threat or pressure will dissuade us from carrying on with our advocacy for the return of the Chibok school girls abducted by members of the Boko Haram terrorist group, members of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign group said on Saturday.

During the daily sit-out at the Unity Fountain, some members of the group calling for more efforts in operations to rescue the over 200 girls abducted on April 14 from their school dormitory in Chibok, Borno State, alleged a fresh threat to their daily sit-out.

It is the 95th day of the groups’ campaign and the members said they were hopeful that their advocacy would put relevant government agencies on their toes in the search for the Chibok girls.

The government had asked the group to direct their demand to the terrorists and not to the government alleging that the group had politicised their demand.

Despite government’s comment, the group has continued to observe its daily sit-out sessions at the Unity Fountain in the nation’s capital, Abuja and they have resolved to intensify their advocacy for the rescue of the girls.

They say they are taking their advocacy forward with the plan to continue engagements with embassies in Nigeria and protest marches despite alleged threats by certain groups to stop the campaign.

However, a member of the group, Dino Melaye, believes a different approach has to be adopted, but stressed that for them, “the watchword is no retreat, no surrender”. - ChannelsTV
