BOKO HARAM

Some are calling it a kind of ‘thumbing of the nose’ to Nigerian leaders and to the Nigerian People. But that seems the motive in the latest ‘non-legal’ attack by a group keeping the Nigerian society on edge.

The leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau, has vowed not to release more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls in his group's captivity. Shekau is saying the sect will only accede to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign after the release of Boko Haram militants held by the Nigerian government.

Mr. Shekau made the demand in a new video published Sunday, where the Islamist leader restated a position he had maintained since the abduction of the girls by Boko Haram militants April 14.
