In the 57-minute video obtained by AFP today , Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said
“I abducted your girls,” referring to the 276 students kidnapped from their school in Chibok, Borno state, on April 14.
Fifty-three of the girls managed to escape from the militants but 223 were still being held, state police said last Friday.
On the other hand, Nigeria’s first lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan has ordered the arrest and detention of one of the prominent campaigners for abducted Chibok girls.
Naomi Nyadar was arrested minutes after she returned home from a marathon meeting with the first lady and several wives of state governors at the Presidential Villa.
During the meeting, the first lady reportedly accused Nyadar of fabricating the abduction story, accusing her of being an active member of Boko Haram.
Lawyers to Nyadar said she was first detained at the Asokoro police station with another woman from Chibok before being moved to an unknown destination after protesters began gathering at the police station to demand her release.
