ooooooThe Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) crusade on Monday, August 22 was denied access to the presidential villa, as part of their advocacy for the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls.

Leadership reports that both Oby Ezekwesili, leader of the group and CSP Chuks Obasi were involved in a shouting match as the officer insisted that the protesters would not cross the human barricade put together by the security operatives.

“Whoever is the officer in charge of this command should stop it. The problem is that we still have our members on the highway. For many years, we have been advocating, we have never engaged in anarchy.

”It was not right for the group to be denied access to see President Muhammadu Buhari because they had followed all protocols. Ezekwesili said.

According to the group, the comment credited to Sidiq Abubakar, the chief of air staff, saying the video clip recently released by Boko Haram was “technically deficient” shows government’s lack of transparency and truthful in its fight against the insurgency.
