Leaders
of the Bring Back Our Girls group, Oby Ezekwesile and Aisha Yesufu, as
well as the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, have commenced a
tour of the Northeast.
The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group has acceded to the request of
the federal government to join it on a tour of Sambisa forest.
The minister of information, Lai Mohammed, had last week written to
the BBOG group inviting them on a guided tour of the North East area to
experience how the search for the Chibok girls was going on.
It was gathered that on Sunday, Oby Ezekwesili, leader of the
group, wrote to the minister of information, informing him of the
willingness of the movement to join the trip to the northeast.
“I am, on behalf of our movement, pleased to inform you that we
have reviewed our decision. Your second letter suggested that the
timing window for a few days of delay was absent due to practical and
cost constraints,” she wrote.
“We are not sure how the decision to invite us on such a short
timeline could have been considered appropriate by the FG, but we have
reconsidered our conditions. We are ready to join you, the minister of
information, the minister of defence and the chief of air force on the
same flight and vehicles to embark on the tour.”
Earlier this morning, the BBOG campaigners, Oby Ezekwesili and
Aisha Yesufu, were pictured with the minister, Lai Mohammed as they
embark on the guided tour.
This is a developing story, we'll be bringing you more details on the report as soon as it's made available.
