Nigeria marks 1,000 days since Boko Haram abducted 276 girls
Nigeria on Sunday marked 1,000 days since the mass abduction of Chibok schoolgirls by Boko Haram militants on April 14, 2014. The Islamist group released around 21 girls in October last year, while nearly 200 continue to remain in captivity. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said his government is committed to finding the rest of the girls "as soon as practicable".
