Today April 14th marks the one year anniversary since the abduction of Chibok Girls. On the night of April 14th, early Tuesday April 15th, over 200 female students were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, by Boko Haram militants.
 
The kidnap sparked international condemnation and outrage which gave birth to the famous hashtag, #bringbackourgirls. But 365 days later, our girls haven’t been found.
 
219 children have been selected by BBOG group to represent the girls that were kidnapped. They will lead a procession to the Ministry of Education in Abuja this morning.
