Having stopped the first silent protest of September 2nd 2016, embarked by the Bring Back Our Girls Group, by the Nigerian Police has, the group rescheduled its cause to Tuesday, 6th September 2016.

However, there was a repeat performance by the police as the authorities, once again, obstructed the BBOG group from attending to their business.

Co-founder, Oby Ezekwesili and other supporters of the BBOG movement are, as expected, disappointed at these turn of events; particularly since the last administration took the same stance about the BBOG protests.

As if to test the BBOG movement, a rival group tagged the Pro-Buhari group was also on hand to thwart the efforts of BBOG group.

In a series of tweets below, this was how the incident unfolded:

Why would president instruct the police to stop any form of activism? Isn't 9ja a democracy?

President @MBuhari
Our March today is a TEST.
Is the heavy @PoliceNG deployed to the Unity Fountain out to RESTRICT @BBOG_Nigeria MARCH?

BBOG cordoned off by female police officers who are backed up by armed male police. This is unconstitutional. pic.twitter.com/tDkBEuyG7F

It is within our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT as #Nigerians to PROTEST @MBuhari's inaction & lackadaisical attitude towards the RESCUE of our girls.

Pres @MBuhari
History just repeated itself.
At your directive, @PoliceNG & a hired group obstructed our @BBOG_Nigeria PEACEFUL MARCH. SAD!

— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 6, 2016

Pres @MBuhari History should be A GOOD TEACHER.
How could you instruct @PoliceNG TO STOP @BBOG_Nigeria ADVOCATING FOR #ChibokGirls?

— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 6, 2016

Pres @MBuhari HIRELINGS were "procured" by the Presidency to provoke our PEACEFUL MARCH for OUR #ChibokGirls . WHAT A BIG SHAME. TRAGIC!

— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 6, 2016

Wow! You could replace Buhari with Jonathan and you see how this is just a continuation of the old. Tragic. https://t.co/q1c5aESCwL

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) September 6, 2016

Pres @MBuhari @PoliceNG acting on your instruction LIED that WE @BBOG_Nigeria had no approval to MARCH. Then WE SHOWED THEM OUR APPROVAL.

— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 6, 2016

Pres @MBuhari
WE HAVE POSTED the PICTURES of OUR #ChibokGirls at YOUR GATE.
You will SEE them when you GO OUT & when YOU GO IN!#BBOGNow!!

— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 6, 2016

Pres @MBuhari
How are the mighty fallen!!!
A GOVERNMENT that PLEDGED TO #BringBackOur 218 Girls today USED POLICE & HIRELINGS AGAINST US??
