Boko Haram Releases New Video, Seems to Feature Kidnapped Chibok Girls
Latest
The somber faces of roughly 50 kidnapped girls appear in a new video released by militant group Boko Haram. They are believed to comprise some of the Chibok schoolchildren kidnapped over two years ago, in April 2014.
The masked militant in the video—still unidentified—declares that the girls will only be freed if the Nigerian government hands over the members of Boko Haram currently held prisoner.
In the video, one young woman issues a collective address to the families of the kidnapped schoolgirls. As the Guardian reports, she identifies herself as Maida Yakubu.
