Life has been "unbearable" for the Chibok community since the disappearance of the girls, spokesperson for Bring Back Our Girls told BuzzFeed News.
Jeff Okoroafor, spokesperson for the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaign group, told BuzzFeed News that since the girls were abducted, life has been "unbearable" for the Chibok community.
At least seven of the fathers were killed in subsequent attacks on Chibok, and the others died from illnesses (heart failure and high blood pressure, among others) which residents attributed to the trauma of losing their daughters.
The group hopes that the demonstration will remind the world that more than 640 days after being kidnapped, over 200 schoolgirls are still in the hands of Boko Haram. The march also aims to "keep the issue of the Chibok Girls in the front burner," Okoroafor added.
