BREAKING NEWS: Boko Haram release video of missing Nigerian schoolgirls as they are forced to recite Quran

A Boko Haram video emerged Monday purportedly showing some of the kidnapped Nigerian girls in Muslim headdresses and the terror group's leader declaring they have converted to Islam.

The video, released by French news agency Agence France-Presse, was shot in a nondescript bush area and showed about 100 girls.
In the 27-minute footage, the terror group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, says he is willing to exchange the schoolgirls for Boko Haram prisoners.
It shows girls dressed in black and gray hijabs, and reciting the Quran as they make Islamic declarations of faith. Shekau appears in a separate part of the video, but never with the girls.

"Praise be to Allah, the lord of the world," the girls in the video chant.

It's the first purported sighting of the girls abducted last month in the northern town of Chibok. A convoy of Islamist militants drove to a school, seized nearly 300 girls and fled into the night.

At least 276 girls remain missing since the terror group abducted them on April 14. Though some of the girls escaped shortly after their abduction, none of the others have been found.

Abducted Nigerian Girls Are my Sisters says Malala Yousafzai

Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, who survived being shot in the head by the Taliban, said Wednesday she sees the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist militants in Nigeria as her sisters.

Speaking on CNN, Malala said the extremist group Boko Haram behind the mass abduction does not understand Islam and has not studied the Koran.
“They are actually misusing the name of Islam because they have forgotten that the word islam means ‘peace,’” Malala said.
She added: “When I heard about the girls in Nigeria being abducted I felt very sad and I thought that my sisters are in prison and I thought that I should speak up for them.”

Malala was shot by a Taliban gunman in 2012 over her outspoken views on education for girls in her home region of northwest Pakistan. After undergoing extensive medical treatment, she now lives in Britain.

Malala told CNN that Boko Haram’s acts were appalling.
“How can one imprison his own sisters and treat them in such a bad way?” she said, referring to the group’s threats to sell the girls into slavery.
“They have not studied Islam yet, they have not studied the Koran yet and they should go and learn Islam,” she said.
Several countries have offered their help to Nigeria to find the girls, whose abduction has prompted an international outcry.

Sounds of Bomb Blast and Gunshots wake Students of University Maiduguri this Morning

The University of Maiduguri this morning was in a state of chaos this began at about 3 am, students and residents of the campus woke up to the sound of an explosion which was followed by gunshots. At least two more explosion sounds followed thereafter with accompanying gunshot sounds. The sources of the bomb blasts were not certain though they did not seem to be on the campus grounds. This however did not stop residents of the campus from panicking. People around the staff quarters moved to the school gates and gathered there though the gates remain locked. Soldiers were also sighted actively patrolling the campus to ensure there were no intruders. After about an hour, almost everybody dispersed and the atmosphere became relatively calm.

It is said that there was an attack at a near village near the campus that led to the terrifying noises though this is totally unconfirmed. More details to follow shortly.
