Three mothers of schoolgirls abducted from Chibok, Borno
State on April 14, 2014 said they had identified their daughters in a video
released by Islamist group Boko Haram, the first possible sighting of the girls
since a video in May 2014.
Reuters reported
that about 15 girls featured in the video released to local officials on
Tuesday, saying they were from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok
and pleading with the Nigerian government to cooperate with Boko Haram on their
release.
The girls were filmed saying they were being treated well but wanted to
go home and be with their families.
Boko Haram militants abducted 276 schoolgirls from Chibok exactly two
years ago, with 57 students managing to escape but 219 still missing despite a
global campaign #BringBackOurGirlsinvolving celebrities and
the wife of the US President, Michelle Obama.
