Boko Haram releases video of 'Chibok girls'
Abuja 15 Jan (ANA) - Nigeria's Islamist militant group Boko Haram have released a video of what it says are the remaining Chibok girls who it kidnapped in 2014. The video shows a group of veiled young women and some children with one of them speaking directly to the camera. It also shared another video showing what the militants say is a downed Nigerian military aircraft.
Boko Haram has been waging an insurgency in north-eastern Nigeria since 2009, and has also carried out attacks in neighbouring countries. Thousands have been killed and millions displaced in the fighting. The militants kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in Chibok town in 2014, causing global outrage. The militants are thought to be still holding at least 100, having released the rest of the girls.(ANA)
