The first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has promised to stage a protest march to Chibok, Borno State, if the abducted schoolgirls were not released.
Mrs Jonathan said this in Abuja after a meeting with governors' and ministers' wives, female senators, commissioners and more than 200 women from various groups at the State House in Abuja.
The meeting was to seek the actual whereabouts of the kidnapped girls.
According to her, a committee will be inaugurated to include wives of all relevant stakeholders at a meeting scheduled for May 4.
She said that refusal of any of such relevant stakeholders to be contacted for the meeting would also lead to a mass protest.
"I cannot perpetuate hearsay and rumour; I must have facts to tell the international community.
"We will set up a committee to seek the truth as women.
"If any of those we call refuse to come, we will take the protest to Chibok.
"I do not mind being shot as long as they return our girls to us safely, we are tired of the kidnapping," she said.
