Nigerian women protest Boko Haram killings



The protesters demanded more action by government to check killings.
Some women, under the aegis of Nigerian Women Morn, embarked on peaceful protest on Thursday calling for an end to the “mindless killings and abduction” of pupils by the terrorist group, Boko Haram, in the North East region.
On the night of February 24, gunmen believed to be Boko Haram insurgents attacked the town of Buni Yadi in Yobe State killing over 40 people including 29 pupils of the Federal Government College in the town.
The Buni Yadi attack came on the heels of the killing of over 30 students at the College of Agriculture in the same state last September...............................
 “Some people have lost husbands; some people have lost wives. Some people have lost their children. Innocent people are being killed and I can feel that pain that goes through each and every one of you. I just want to say that women. Intelligence gathering entails information giving. Unless information comes, sometimes intelligence gathering cannot be as fruitful.”
