Abducted girls |
Some parents of the girls abducted
at Goverment 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.
SHOWBIZPLUSng learnt that 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.
Also speaking to our correspondent
on phone, some parents and other residents of Chibok, especially those residing
in remote villages said they are yet to come across the released video, not to
talk of identifying their missing children.
