A former First Lady of the United States of America and the presidential aspirant of the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, has written a letter to the #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) group.

Vanguard reports that in the letter that came on the occasion of the second anniversary of the kidnap of 219 Chibok school girls, Mrs Clinton expressed support for Nigerians and all those who have been doing everything possible to rescue the missing girls alive.

“Today marks two years since hundreds of schoolgirls were kidnapped in Chibok, Nigeria. They were taken from their dormitory in the dead of night by the terrorist group Boko Haram. Until they’re freed, they and their families won’t know peace.

“I stand with the people of Nigeria and all those who have been working diligently to secure the safe return of the Chibok girls and bring an end to Boko Haram’s brutal acts of terror.

“My heart aches for the hundreds of boys and girls who have been kidnapped by Boko Haram over the years. They have suffered sexual violence and forced marriage. UNICEF report that one in five suicide bombings by Boko Haram has been carried out by a child – mostly girls, some as young as 8. No child should have to endure these atrocities.

“This anniversary is a stark reminder of the work we must do to advance equality for women and girls around the world. It’s the right thing to do, and it improves security and prosperity for everyone. That starts with freeing the Chibok girls, and stopping the terror of Boko Haram,” she wrote.

On Thursday, April 14, members of the BBOG group embarked on a peaceful protest to the official residence of President Muhammadu Buhari demanding for the rescue of the missing girls.

However, the match which began from the Unity Fountain Maitama, Abuja, through the busy federal secretariat was terminated at the entrance to the presidential villa as anti-riot police officers police officers barricaded the road.
