US First Lady, Michella Obama and Malala Yousafzai are among a growing chorus of voices who have joined the #BringBackOurGirls viral campaign to free the over 200 school girls kidnapped in Nigeria by an Islamic terror group last month.
As the Boko Haram Islamist Group remain the only night mare of the Nigerian state. The public figures, along with celebrities such as Naomi Campbell and Bradley Cooper, have posted photos of themselves holding #BringBackOurGirls signs on Instagram and Twitter.
Pressure from the international community to safely locate the missing school girls - taken at gunpoint from their school in northern Nigeria on April 14 - has ratcheted up in the past few days.
Both the British and US government have sent specialist officers and technical assistance teams to the country, in a bid to intensify the search.
