First Lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama, has joined the global campaign calling for the release of girls abducted more than 3 weeks ago in Chibok, Borno State.

Barack Obama's wife took to Twitter to express her shock over the Nigerian tragedy:

"Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to bring back our girls."

The tweet of President's wife was signed "-mo," meaning she sent it herself.

Abduction of more than 230 girls carried on April 14 by Boko Haram sect members is not the issue of only national concern any more.

World leading countries, including but not limited to USA, China, France, UK, offered strategic and military assistance in the rescue operation.

Nigerian and international celebrities condemned the outrageous act and joined the #BringBackOurGirls movement.
