Watch the video purportedly by Boko Haram terrorist showing the missing Chibok girls

Islamist group Boko Haram, has released a video purporting to show some of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls. Some 50 girls wearing headscarves are seen behind a Boko Haram militant who demands the release of fighters in return will release the kidnap school girls

The Boko Haram militant who paraded the Chibok girls in a video posted on You Tube said,

 “They should know that their children are still in our hands,”

It was attributed to the old Boko Haram name, not the new Islamic State West Africa Province, suggesting it was released by Shekau’s faction.

“There is a number of the girls, about 40 of them, that have been married,” said the man in the 11-minute video, which shows girls with veils sitting on the ground and standing in the background.

“Some of the girls could be seen clamping their babies to their chests, although many of them had been reported to have died in captivity.

The militant, however called on the Nigerian government to release Boko Haram fighters in exchange for the girls.

“The video shows that the war effort is hurting the operations of the group,” Cummings said.

“It does have a sense of almost desperation from Boko Haram.”

Last week, Boko Haram’s leader Shekau appeared in a video vowing to fight on, amid a leadership scuffle between him and new Islamic State-backed rival Abu … 

Boko Haram had abducted about 276 girls from their school in the Chibok Borno state, out of which 219 are believed to remain in captivity.

This is the third video said to show the girls since they were captured.

The footage was issued just days after embattled Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau denied claims that he had been replaced as the leader of the Nigeria-based group.

The kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls from Chibok in April 2014 provoked global outrage and brought unprecedented attention to Boko Haram and its bloody quest to create a fundamentalist state in northeastern Nigeria.

The task of rescuing the Chibok girls the abducted of which generated international outcry has been a great challenged to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, as the government almost throw its arms in resignation on possibility of finding the girls.

Buhari’s government had hitherto said that Boko Haram is “technically defeated” in the face of consistent efforts by the military to decimate their strength in the north-eastern zone of Nigeria where they had chosen as a base.'
