Ezekwesili under fire for "ignoring Boko Haram killings"
Boko Haram reportedly killed at least 80 people over the weekend.
Local vigilante Babakura Kolo reportedly told the media said 68 people were killed in the attack on Baanu village in Borno state late on Friday.
Residents said another 11 people were shot dead in two other villages on Saturday and Sunday, reports say.
It seemed Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaigner Obiageli Ezekwesili missed the news, or deliberately ignored it.
Whatever the case may be, a pro-Jonathan Nigerian has lashed out at the former education minister for focusing only on the girls Boko Haram kidnapped from Chibok in 2014.
Deji Adeyanju, who appears to be a staunch supporter of former President Goodluck Jonathan, said he is surprised Ezekwesili has not been speaking against the senseless killings.
So 80 Nigerians have just been killed today & OBY & co are not screaming, crying or even talking about it? Deafening silence. Ok no problem.
