Social media users pray for the abducted Chikbok school girls...

A year has passed since the hashtags #Bringbackourgirls and #ChikbokGirls, were born on social media channels. Tuesday marked the first anniversary of Boko Haram’s abduction of 219 schoolgirls from the northeastern town of Chibok, as part of a series of events planned around the world. According to an Amnesty International report on Tuesday, the Boko Haram Islamic militants have kidnapped at least 2,000 girls and women since the start of last year, turning them into cooks, sex slaves and fighters, and sometimes killing those who refused to comply. On social media channels, activists, celebrities and other users, speak out against the atrocity faced by the victims. They question why a majority of the girls are still missing.
