Bukky Shonibare, a member of the group, dismissed the federal government's position that Boko Haram terrorists have been defeated as most areas still remain unaccessible to aid agencies.

She lamented the failure of government to rescue the girls over two years since they were abducted.

Recall that over 200 schoolgirls were abducted from the Government Secondary School, Chibok by the Boko Haram sect in 2014.
