The Abubakar Shekau faction of Boko Haram on Thursday released a new video confirming that it has custody of the students of Government Secondary School Kankara, Katsina State, who were abducted last Friday.
The video, sighted by the Human Angle, is six minutes and 30 seconds long, and features speeches from Shekau and one of the schoolboys who looked distraught and bloodied.
Tens of other young boys could be seen behind him, all covered in dust and appearing to be within a forest area.
The relatively older students who spoke, in both English and Hausa, urged the Federal Government to settle amicably with their abductors, advising the government not to use of military force in rescuing them.
”All the Army that has come here to help us, please send them back. They can do nothing to them. Please sir, send all the soldiers and jet back. We need your assistance” one of the abducted students say
