#BringBackOurGirls demands true story of counter-insurgency war
The #BringBackOurGirls have called on the Nigerian government and the military to reveal the true story of the war against the insurgency adding that only the truth can set the nation free.

Speaking during the sit-out of the group yesterday, a member, Olatunji Baruwa, stated that the narratives coming out of the fight was coming only from the military side, and urged the media to take up the challenge of finding and revealing the truth to the masses.
“It is a time the media wake up to their responsibility. We need investigative journalism to give us the other side of the story. The stories we get to the fight against in the insurgency only comes from the military. We need the media to tell us the other side of the story,” he said.
The BBOG member also started that there were many members of the Boko Haram sect that have been arrested by the sect and added that Nigerians needed to exactly what has happened to such people.
“The military has announced several times of arrest of many commanders, kingpins and masterminders. We get all these stories from press releases from the military. What exactly have happened? ” he said.
He expressed dismay over alleged shutting up of media houses who dare to say the truth as it is adding that so many things have been swept under the carpet which shouldn’t be so as the nation works towards bringing an end to the insurgency.
Olatunji who though expressed happiness that the activities of the Boko Haram sect have been reduced added that the military who had worked tirelessly to see that the war is won, have sad stories to tell as they have lost many men with some of their welfare withheld.
“Many have lost husbands, fathers, brothers in the war. Who is taking care of the children that have been left behind? They have sacrificed their lives for the country and the country should not abandon them,” he said.
