Protesters on Thursday were taking their call for the release of more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Demonstrators said they were intending to march on Goodluck Jonathan's presidential villa in the capital, Abuja, to maintain pressure on the embattled head of state to secure the girls' safe release.
"It is the wish of this movement that this engagement will catalyse positive action towards (the) quick rescue of our abducted girls," the #BringBackOurGirls campaign coordinator, Hadiza Bala Usman, said in a statement.
Previous street protests in Abuja have led to meetings with lawmakers at the national parliament, Nigeria's national security adviser and military top brass.
