‘WE’LL MARCH TO CHIBOK NAKED IF…’

As protests against the abduction of Chibok schoolgirls continue to spread all over the country, Nigerian women, under the aegis of Women Arise Against Terror Group, have threatened to march to Chibok half-naked, if the Federal Government fails to secure the release of the abducted girls, within the next 14 days.
Making the threat on Monday, in Lagos, during a protest march to the Lagos State governor’s office in Alausa, Ikeja, the president of the group, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin, stated that it had become imperative for them to join other concerned people all over the globe, to ask for the release of the abducted girls.
She explained that besides going to the governor’s office to present a letter of protest addressed to President Goodluck Jonathan, through the governor, the group had lined up several activities meant to put pressure on the Federal Government to expedite action concerning the release of the girls.

According to her, the protest, which would go on for the next 14 days in other parts of the country, would be rounded off in Chibok, with the women marching half-naked, if the girls were not released before then.
“We came here first to deliver this letter to the governor, to help us pass it to Mr President, because we believe the governor shares some of those ideals. Today, we will be going to Enugu, while we intend to visit other states too. This will go on for the next 14 days and if the girls are not released by then, God forbid, we would be ready to march to Chibok half-naked,” she stated.
