Women groups protest in Ibadan over Abducted girls

nigeria-school-girlMore than 200 women from various groups yesterday held a peaceful protest across Ibadan, the Oyo State capi­tal, over the 234 girls ab­ducted by Boko Haram in­surgents at the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State.
The women, aged between 50 and 65, wept uncontrolla­bly as they marched through the metropolis in torn dresses, carrying placards with various inscriptions such as: Rescue our girls now, Enough of Ab­duction, No to Boko Haram, Federal Government what are you doing? We call for end to this abduction now.
The protesting women later moved to the headquarters of the state police command, where they addressed the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Indabbawa.
In her address, Princess Ad­etona,  the President, National Council of Women Societies (NCWS), said the women de­cided to speak out their minds because the lives of the chil­dren were at stake, adding that the longer it took to rescue the girls, the greater the dangers they would be exposed to.
