Parents and guardians have reacted to video, While some
feared for the safety of their kids, other said that the new video gives
them new hope that the girls are still alive and can be rescued.
Boko
Haram Leader Abubakar Shekau had claimed in the video that majority of
the girls have converted to islam and the ones who have not converted
can be exchanged for their members detained in various prisons.
One
of the abducted girls parent, Mallam Awana Babagana said :“I have seen
the video but I couldn’t identify my daughter. I hope they are the ones,
we will keep on praying until they are released.”
However another
unnamed parent said he watched the video but couldn't identify any of
his missing daughters, he raised questions concerning the validity of
the video.
Another parent who talked to Telegraph of London said
that he will rather have his daughter perish than change religion, He
said: “I have not yet seen the video, but I am not really interested in
what Boko Haram’s demands are,”. “My daughter is a Christian, she will
never change. I would rather she died as a Christian than convert to
Islam.”
