Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) members have been arrested in Abuja by the police.
Bring Back Our Girls Movement
The co-founder of the group, Oby Ezekwesili who announced this in a tweet, said it is connected to the advocacy for the release of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
Since the girls were kidnapped in April 2014, the movement has been mounting pressure on the government to secure the release of the captives.
