The names of the kidnapped Nigerians girls have been released on Twitter.

The names have been listed along with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, which has been circulating on Twitter as the search for the kidnapped Nigerian girls continues.

The list currently has 177 names of the girls, ranging from 15 to 18-years-old.

As families wait for the return of their kidnapped daughters, news of a second mass attack has surfaced, according to CNN.

Details emerged on Wednesday of an alleged Boko Haram attack on a Nigerian village, causing the death of 150 people.

Witnesses told the news outlet that militants dressed in military uniforms, backed by armored personnel carriers and shouting "God is great" attacked Gamboru Ngala on Monday afternoon as they fired rocket-propelled grenades and bombs into a crowded outdoor marketplace.

The witness stated the attackers set fire to the buildings, preventing people from taking shelter from the violence.

This attack has added to the criticism that President Goodluck Jonathan has been receiving for "initially ignoring and later downplaying" the abduction of the kidnapped Nigerian girls.

A father of two of the missing schoolgirls reportedly accused the government of "playing" with the parents of the teenage girls and treating them as "fools."

President Obama spoke on the abduction of the girls, calling it "heartbreaking" and outrageous.

"You've got one of the worst regional or local terrorist organizations in Boko Haram in Nigeria, they've been killing people ruthlessly for many years now and we've already been seeking greater cooperation with the Nigerians," stated the president to ABC News.

He added, "This may be the event that helps to mobilize the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organization that's perpetrated such terrible crime."

The White House announced on Tuesday that it will be sending a team to Nigeria to help with the search.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. stated, "This is a horrific situation. Kidnapping certainly has no place in any village, in any region, in any country. The voices of the civilized world must rise up and be louder than the terrorists who are taking away basic human rights."
