NIGERIA-UNREST-KIDNAP-FILES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY AMINU ABUBAKAR
(FILES) -- A file picture taken on May 29, 2014 shows Nollywood celebrity Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, pleading for the release of the more than 200 abducted Chibok school girls in Lagos, during a demonstration by civil society groups and celebrities of the film and entertainment industries to press for the girls' release, seven weeks after their abduction by Islamist militant group Boko Haram, and on the occasion of Nigeria's Democracy Day. The northeast Nigeria town of Chibok used to fill up before Christmas as people returned home to visit their families, but with the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram still missing, few feel like celebrating this year. Chibok falls in Borno state, the epicentre of Boko Haram's five-year uprising which has killed more than 13,000 people and forced an estimated 1.5 million others from their homes. Nigerians were forced to recall the April 14 mass abduction in Chibok, following news that another 185 people, mostly women and children, were seized on December 14, 2014 in the nearby town of Gumsuri in another attack blamed on the Islamists.
