New video showing Chibok girls…

Another video showing the Chibok girls from Nigeria has been released on the internet by the Islamic Extremist militia, Boko Haram.

In the video a masked man stands behind dozens of girls. “We want to send this message first to the parents of these girls for them to know that these girls are still with us, some of them, and secondly they should tell the Federal Government of Nigeria, to with immediate effect, release our imprisoned brothers,” the man said. “Some of the girls, about forty of them with God’s permission have been married, some of them have died as a result of bombing by the infidels.” One veiled girl could be seen holding a baby.

At the end of the video unidentified bodies could be seen on the ground. “Military jets have killed some of the girls,” said one of the girls, who was identified by her father, Yakubu Kabu, as his daughter Dorcas.

Yakubu told reporters in Abuja, “When I heard her voice, I realize she is my daughter. We are pleading with the government to help…The children are suffering. Some of them could be very sick‎.”

On the night of 14th-15th April 2014 over 200 girls were taken by the militant group from their school in the Northern Nigerian town of Chibok. Many were Christians. Some have escaped, but many remain in captivity.
