The daughter students kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria in 2014 are remembered in a new exhibition of sculptures inspired by their photos in Lagos.

A space is filled with statues, each head representing one of those daughter students kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014 at a government girls' school in the Chibok community in Nigeria.

That gave rise to a media campaign hashtag #BringBackOurGirls a slogan used by protesters engaged in celebrities around the world, including former first lady of the United States Michelle Obama.
