Social media campaign launched calling for rescue of 243 Nigerian school girls kidnapped by Islamic extremists and forced to marry the terrorists

More than two weeks after an estimated 234 school girls were kidnapped by Islamic extremists in Nigeria, people have taken to the streets for another day of protests to voice their unhappiness at the government’s failure to ensure the safe release of the hostages.

The girls were seized by members of the Boko Haram terrorist network at a high school in the town of Chibok in the nation's far northeast on April 16. 

Armed men herded the girls out of their beds and forced them into a convoy of trucks which then disappeared into the dense forest bordering Cameroon.
