Protesters seeking to pressure the Nigerian Government to act and
rescue 276 schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram sect are this
afternoon driving their campaign to a new level.
The #BringBackOurGirls protesters plan to march on Aso Rock,
Nigeria’s presidential villa. No protest group have ever marched on Aso
Rock.
The protesters face two challenges in their bid. The Aso Rock villa
is heavily protected by a special security arrangement and protected
from the public. Only workers or invited guests are allowed access into
that area of town. The protesters may have a difficult time breaking
through the layers of security that ensures that Aso Rock villa is out
of bounds to the public.
The protesters may also have a hard time breaking through civil
police barriers early in the protest. Abuja police boss, Joseph Mbu, had
threatened to stop the protesters far before the perimeters of the
presidential villa.
Mr. Mbu was recently transferred from Rivers state, after several face-offs with Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
