Members of a protesting group for the release of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls, ReleaseOurGirls, fought yesterday in Abuja over the sharing money. They were paid daily.
The protesters, comprising young men, were exchanging fisticuffs.
They were heard screaming: “You are lying, we must share the money! You must give me my share; you must give me my money! We must share it equally!”
This happened after the group marked 100 days of the abduction of the over 200 pupils from the Government Girls’ Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State.
The quarrelling protesters ignored the passersby as they tore one another’s clothes. Two of them were nearly hit by a car.
The policemen stationed in front of the Millennium Park dispersed the protesters.
One of the leaders of the ReleaseOurGirls had confessed that they were paid to hold the rally.
The group, last month, attacked the Oby Ezekwesili-led BringBackOurGirls movement. They beat up its members, seizing their phones and breaking their chairs.
