Remembrance: Nyanya Bomb Blasts and Kidnapped Chibok School Girls




On this day. Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, was thrown into deep sorrow as Nigeria’s terrorist group, Boko Haram bomb a popular motor park at Nyanya. The attack was considered as one of the worst ever carried out by the Islamic Militant Group as it left hundreds of people dead and several others with diverse degrees of injury.
That same day, by dusk, more than 250 Chibok Government Secondary School Girls were kidnapped at night from their school by the same Boko Haram group. The kidnapping raised voices from all over the world. The hash tag #BringBackOurGirls was introduced on social media to put more pressure on the Nigerian Government to rescue the school girls from the Islamic faction.
Today, this blog and the entire world remember those directly or indirectly affected by the Nyanya bomb blast and the kidnap of Chibok School Girls. Everyone (Government, NGOs, individuals, etc.) who had in one way or the other promised to see to the plight of those affected, especially in the Nyanya bomb blast should deliver their promises.
