The Twitter campaign for the release of abducted Nigerian schoolgirls has made its way to Brazil with fans seen holding banners in support

Twitter users' hashtag campaign to draw attention to the kidnapping of nearly 300 schoolgirls in Nigeria had received global attention since the incident occured two months ago.

A poster bearing the simple message of '#Bring Back Our Girls' was first seen at Nigeria's opening match against Iran on June 17 at the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba. The match ended in a goalless draw.
