Also Nigerian officials have given permission for a memorial event at the Chibok boarding school where the militants abducted the Girls, with the distraught parents hoping this would remind the world that their daughters are still missing.

The event, a prayer session integrating both Christians and Muslims, will mark the second anniversary of the inhumane act by Boko Haram that provoked an international outcry and a viral campaign dubbed #BringBackOurGirls.

On the night of April 14, 2014, Boko Haram stormed a government boarding school in Chibok town in Borno state and abducted 276 girls. This captured the attention of the whole world, prompting the outcry for the girls to be rescued.

Two years down the line however, the Federal government has not succeeded in finding the girls, let alone rescuing them.

Lawan Zanna, the secretary of the Parents of the Abducted girls, said the government had agreed to give the parents access to the school that is heavily guarded. All the parents are expected to attend.
