The schoolgirls abducted from Chibok community by
Boko Haram insurgents were reportedly seen alive,
according to a report by BBC
More than 50 of the girls abducted by militant
Islamists in Nigeria last year were seen alive three
weeks ago, a woman has told the BBC.
She saw the girls in the north-eastern Gwoza town
before the Boko Haram militants were driven out of
there by regional forces.
Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from their school in
the remote town of Chibok, in Borno state,
northeastern Nigeria, on the evening of April 14 last
year.
Fifty-seven managed to escape soon afterwards but
the remainder have not been seen since an
appearance in a Boko Haram video in May last year.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has claimed
they have all converted to Islam and been “married
off”.
