The female hostages shown in a video released by Boko Haram have been identified as students of the secondary school attacked by the Islamists on April 14, the area governor said Tuesday.
“All the girls in that video were identified to be students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok,” said northeastern Borno state’s Governor Kashim Shettima. Shettima, who spoke in Abuja, had organised a viewing of the video for the Chibok community.
