Boko Haram Monday released a new video showing about 130 of the
kidnapped #Chibok students. All wearing hijab and chanting Islamic
prayers, insurgent leader Abubakar Skau said he had “liberated the
girls” and would exchange them for his men imprisoned by the Nigerian
authorities. He repeated his threat to sell the girls because Allah had
ordered him to do so.
Three of the girls – wearing the full-length hijab – are shown speaking in the 17-minute video, obtained by French
news agency AFP. Two girls say they were
Christian
and have converted to Islam, while the other says she is Muslim.
“These girls, these girls you occupy yourselves with… we have
indeed
liberated them. These girls have become Muslims,” Abubakar Shekau says in the video.
On 14 April, Boko Haram abducted more than 200 girls from their
boarding school in the predominantly Christian community of #Chibok
within the Islamic state of Borno.
