Protestors vow to remember Boko Haram girls─── 08:41 Wed, 15 Apr 2015
Abuja - Protesters around the world have vowed to remember the girls abducted by the Nigerian militant Islamist group Boko Haram one year ago.
A procession was held in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, yesterday with 219 girls taking part to represent each missing girl.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the world must "never forget the kidnapped Chibok girls".
The mass abduction sparked global outrage, with nations including the US and China vowing to help find them.
There have been reported sightings of the girls, but none has been found. Ceremonies were also held in Lagos, and in France, the UK and US.
Boko Haram say the kidnapped girls have converted to Islam and have been married off.
