Bring Back Our Girls marks three years─── 11:44 Sat, 15 Apr 2017
Abuja - Three years after nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls were kidnapped from their dormitory in north-eastern Nigeria, the Bring Back Our Girls group mark the anniversary of their abduction with a protest and lecture in the country's capital Abuja.
Reuters reports the 276 girls were taken from their school in Chibok in the remote Borno state, where Boko Haram has waged an insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic state, killing thousands and displacing more than two million people.
In October, 21 Chibok girls were released in a deal brokered by Switzerland and the International Red Cross, while a handful of others have escaped or been rescued.
