Boko
Haram has released a video showing some of the Chibok girls who were abducted
from their school in April 2014. In the video, the dreaded terrorist group
showed the faces of some girls numbering about 50, in hijabs.
An unknown Boko Haram terrorist asked the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
federal government to release its fighters who were captured by security
operatives in exchange for the girls, just as a Chibok girl interviewed by a
Boko Haram member, narrates how airstrikes have killed dozens of her mates.
Since assuming office, the administration of President Buhari has recorded a
renewed onslaught against Boko Haram that has been successful in pushing them
further into the bush and engaging them in ground and air attacks. The
president previously said that the release of the girls is considered a
priority and this was evident in the way the army has been dealing with
terrorists. The rescue of Amina Ali Nkek, who is one of the Chibok girls, by
members of the Civilian Joint Task Force has raised hope in the possibility of
the Buhari administration to curb insurgency. The girls numbering about 276
were abducted from their school in Chibok, Borno state, in the late hours of
April 14, 2014. Dozens were able to escape shortly after the abduction.
However, the fate of 218 teen girl hostages still remains unknown.
