Hours after a faction of the Boko Haram sect released a new video showing the abducted Chibok girls and claiming that some of the girls were killed by air strikes launched by Nigerian Troops, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters has denied it.

In a statement issued, the Defence Headquarters said it was examining the latest video from Boko Haram group purporting to show some of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls.

The new video released by the Abubakar Shekau faction of Boko Haram shows a masked armed man standing in front of several girls, who, he claimed, were the over 200 girls who abducted from their school hostel at Government Secondary School, Chibok, in 2014.

The man said the video was released to send a message to the parents of the girls to beg the Nigerian government to release Boko Haram members in various detention centres in exchange for the girls.

The man said about 40 of the girls were already married while some were dead.

One of the girls, Maida Yakubu, who spoke in both Hausa and her native language asked parents to “be patient and beg the government to release their people, so that we will also be released”.

Part of the transcript of the video reads, “It pleased God to let us have these girls in our captivity for over two years now. Our first message is to the parents of the girls to let them know that their daughters are still with us, some of them.

Even if the Nigerian military *did* cause their death the responsibility belongs 100% to the medieval moslem savages that kidnapped them in the first place.

We should have reduced these damned islamists to the same levels of destruction of State Shinto, and nazism following WWII. But I suppose it would be said that we were too tired, or that it wasn’t worth taking down any more nazi allies. Yet Churchill could see quite contemporaneously that islam would become a scourge that would eventually have to be eradicated, lest it eradicate us.
