Recently abducted students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, have cried for help in a video released by the Abubakar Shekau-led faction of Boko Haram on Thursday.

In the six minutes 30 seconds video, the boys said some of them have been killed and pleaded with the government to respond to the demands of the terrorists, including paying ransom so they could be set free.

The students of the all-boys boarding secondary school were abducted on Friday, December 11, after the terrorists stormed their school in the middle of the night, broke its gate, shot sporadically, and gathered the boys, claiming to be security operatives.

In the newly released video, the abductors showed the boys, with some of them crying, and claimed that they were in good health.

One of the boys who spoke in both English and Hausa said they were 520 in number but some of them were killed because the government sent troops to rescue them. He urged the Federal Government to settle amicably with their abductors and advised against the use of military force in rescuing them. A voice behind the camera could be heard telling the pupil what to say.

“We have been caught by the gangs of Abu Shekau; some of us were killed,” the distraught student said.

At least dozens of other young boys could be seen gathered close to him, all covered in dust and appearing to be within a forest area. A young member of the terrorist group stood in their midst wearing a military uniform, including a face mask, and wielding an assault rifle.

The abductors in the video said they kidnapped the students because the government refused to stop killing and arresting Fulani criminals.

“We did this because you refused to stop killing and arresting Fulani,” one of them said.

The young student then pleaded with the government to stop attacking the terrorists. “All the armies that you sent here can do nothing to them,” he said.

He added that that government should “dissolve vigilante gangs and close down all types of schools, excluding Islamiyya [Qur’anic schools]”.

Shekau speaks
The leader of the Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, otherwise known as Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, spoke at the end of the video saying he was happy with the operation.

He said many people thought he was lying when he claimed responsibility for the schoolboys’ abduction. Shekau said he would not add anything since sceptics could now see the boys by themselves.

“Even if I didn’t say anything, here are my people speaking and here are your boys speaking too,” he said.

HumAngle earlier reported that Boko Haram said it was responsible for the kidnapping, which is the group’s most daring attack outside its stronghold in the Northeast.

The same faction of Boko Haram had in 2014 abducted 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State. Since then, only 164 have been freed while 112 others remain missing.

To secure the release of some of the schoolgirls, the Nigerian government, complying with the terror group’s demands, secretly paid a ransom of €3 million and released about five imprisoned Boko Haram members.

Following this pattern, it is expected that the group will soon make specific demands for money and ask to swap the abducted students for some of its detained members.

Boko Haram is a problem of the north, by the north and for the north.

Fake News. No such thing Happened. The boys were only taken on an excursion . Buhari government is working for the North. Next level, sai babaaaaa

Shekau is more active than the commander in chief of the federation. Why are the northerners silent on this matter? No form of protest anywhere in the north or even in katsina state on the issue. I can't cry more than the bereaved

lie Mohammed will give us another version of lies Tomorrow. The same boko haram they reduced to nothing was able to defeat all the security structure in the North to kidnap such a huge number of children ...

These bandits no dey fear oo...dem even give bubu birthday present.

Who re the bastards criticising ipob people for forming a militia?

Anyways RIP to the dead
The country failed you

God rest your souls young boys.You dont deserve this evil but your leaders planted it & you're suffering it.Too bad! Yet their clueless state governor-Masari was earlier saying none of the boys have been killed.

Nigeria will win this battle... 98% success... 2% more to hit perfection.. God Almighty is fighting our battle... The Boko Haram and bandits we see today, we shall see no more..

May God heal Nigeria...

Thought masari said none of them was killed..these politicians no get human feelings.."they are now zamfara,we are on it".lies.

Useless, lying, bloodsucking government...

Please i hope it's a lie.

This is Nigeria.

This video broke my heart

Using kids to play politics and games

The North would regret dearly how it treats it's kids, because the young shall grow.. some would grow up angry at the world




.

This administration has failed this nation. GEJ allowed Chibok to happen and till today the girls are still missing. Now Buhari has allowed kankara under his nose. Smh.

Bulhary the C-in-C simply does not care. He is in Daura tending to his cows while Buruntashi is in Nassarawa tending to his snakes.

By the way, this will be the portion of arrewa, helinues, omenka, yarimo, seunmsg, afamed, silvernorgold, simplyleo, (with their generations) as long as they see no wrong in the plight of these kids, they and their generations won't escape such fate

Meanwhile Buhari is still enjoying his vacation and doesn't care about what happens to Nigerians.

This is sad. I could care less over the level of insecurities in the north and how the Northerners have chosen political expediency over humanity. But this video is saddening.

This should never happen anywhere in this world

Bokkopolitics using north as a foot match because of their high rate of illiteracy and religion bigot.

Funny country

How comes the army cant track who uploaded the video yet billions was budgeted for security

Today is late buharis birthday have you seen any of his kids wishing him a happy birthday online


You guys still want to be stupid and allow the north to be sucking the Treasurys of this country that is mainly sourced for the the west,east and south south in the name of fighting boko-haram.....Nigerians wake up and be wise

Kidnapping is now a norm so people aren't really bothered anymore.

Chibok girls was the first that is why the noise was so loud. We are used to it now.

Nigeria don finally cast

BH in Northwest? And southerners thinks they are safe?

I keep on telling people BH ideology is an extreme ideology with a well-structured plan to conquer the world (God forbid bad thing they can't).

Now their strategy is to gain followers either willingly or unwillingly that is by force. After they are done with NW they will penetrate NC (Maybe they are there already) after that they have the numbers already they won't need Gorilla warfare anymore to penetrate the South, they will start going to the South through bomb blast, road kidnapping etc.


Aisha Yesufu said something sensible yesterday but you all are debunking her due to your shortsighted point of view. Wake up the war is already at your doorstep. BH wants to conquer whole west Africa and imposed their radical ideology on us.


Our leaders have fvcked us all

FAKE NEWS....NOTIN HAPPEND FOR NORTH
