According to the group, “The last 180 days have been one of dashed hopes, intense pain, and confusion for the families due to the lack of accurate information from the Government on the current status of the rescue operation. The march will be joined by some of the parents of the abducted girls, as we continue to stand in solidarity with the abducted 219 girls and their families.
“Concerned members of the public are invited to join the engagement with our President and Commander in Chief”, the statement said.
