Some parents of the girls abducted at Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists have distanced themselves from the latest video purportedly released by the leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau who claimed that the kidnapped students, particularly the Christians have converted to Islam. They said they could not identify any of their daughters in the video obtained by AFP.
Governor Shettima ordered the mass production of the video for possible identification by parents after he saw the clip on the BBC world service. The governor thereafter directed the mass duplication of the video to be shown to parents, some abducted but freed students, teachers and management staff of the school among others.
Speaking with Vanguard, Mallam Zannah Chibok, one of the parents who had seen the video said he couldn't identify any of his daughters, pointing out that some of the faces in the video are not even students, as their ages can be put at between 30 and 40 years.
Likewise, another parent who did not want his name mentioned for security reasons, admitted that he watched the video on a cable news channel, as well as, on the social media, but to his dismay, he couldn't identify any of his missing daughters in it.
