| Parents of kidnapped school girls |
Nigerian
parents on Tuesday said their worst fears about their daughters’ fates had been
confirmed after Boko Haram, which kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls last
month, threatened to sell the hostages as “slaves.”
Abubakar
Shekau, who leads the Islamist group which has killed thousands in a five-year
uprising, claimed responsibility for the shocking mass abduction on April 14 in
the Chibok area of northeastern Borno state.
In a
video message obtained by AFP on Monday, Shekau said his group was holding the
girls as “slaves” and would “sell (them) in the market”.
HBC: Now that it has been confirmed that the kidnapping actually happened, Please baba presido, shove the politics to one side and save the kids.
