Nigerian woman who has campaigned against
Islamist extremists Boko Haram was on Tuesday
awarded a Japanese peace prize worth
$170,000.
Esther Ibanga, a pastor and activist in Nigeria,
has kept up a vocal protest against the
kidnappings that Boko Haram has made almost
routine, the Niwano Peace Foundation said.
The foundation said it had awarded her its 20
million yen annual prize because of the way she
has tirelessly pressured central and local
governing officials in her efforts to fight back
against extremists.
“Esther has worked extensively to foster and
facilitate reconciliation between conflicting
religious and tribal groups,” setting up an
organisation that has all tribal women leaders on
its membership, the Buddhist group-backed
foundation said.
Boko Haram fighters have kidnapped hundreds of
schoolgirls, causing global outrage and a social
media campaign to release them.
Over 13,000 have been killed while more than
one million people have been left homeless since
2009 as the extremist militants try to carve out
an Islamic state in Nigeria’s northeast.
