A mother of an abducted Nigerian schoolgirl has
identified her daughter in a video posted by Islamist rebels that showed
dozens of girls in captivity, a school leader said on Tuesday.
A source hinted Talk Nigeria Blog Crew that the mother watched the video on
television on Monday evening and spotted her daughter among the girls
sitting on the ground and wearing veils.
The leader of rebel group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, issued the
video on Monday offering to release more than 200 schoolgirls, who were
kidnapped from the school in a raid on April 15, in exchange for
prisoners held by the government. It was not immediately apparent when
the video of the girls was filmed.
"The video got parents apprehensive again after watching it but the
various steps taken by the governments and the coming of the foreign
troops is boosting our spirit, even though I have not seen any soldier
in Chibok yet," a parent who preferred name not mentioned disclosed to
our Crew.
