US fails to meet BBOG campaigners

By Laide Akinboade

ABUJA—The United States Ambassador, James F. Entwistle, yesterday, failed to meet with #BringBackOurGirls campaign group, which marched to some embassies to solicit their supports in the campaign for release of the remaining 219 girls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, kidnapped by Boko Haram six months ago.

The visit to the embassy was a continuation of Global Week of Action to commemorate the unfortunate six months mark since the abduction of the girls.

The American ambassador was scheduled to receive the group at 3.00pm at the Diplomatic Zone, Abuja, to address the group but sent some representatives to apologise that he would not be able to make it.

Meanwhile, the group has called on Muslims all over the world to use Friday Jumat to pray for the safe return of the girls.

The group also visited the embassies of China and Niger.
