The #BringBackOurGirls hashtag, aimed at rescuing the more 200 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by an Islamist extremist group, has been making waves on Twtitter.

Sambo claims her daughters were among those kidnapped by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram, and that the same group murdered her husband.
