Few day after its release, a mother
of one of the abducted Chibok schoolgirl has identified her daughter in a video
posted by Islamist sect, Boko Haram, which showed dozens of girls in captivity,
a school leader said on Tuesday.
SHOWBIZPLUSng gathered 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, said Dumoma
Mpur, parent-teachers association chairman at Government Secondary School in
Chibok, Borno State.
The leader of rebel group, 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 14, 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 the any one soldier in Chibok yet,” Mpur told Reuters by telephone.
The Nigerian government said it was
exploring all options in its effort to rescue the girls. The United States and
Britain have sent experts to help with the search.
