Self-confessed leader of the radical Islamic sect, Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau has said that it orchestrated the kidnapped of over 200 girls from Government Girls College, Chibok, Borno State some 21 days ago.
In a new video obtained French television, the leader of the group who posed in front of a military armored personnel carrier (APC) backed up by some commandos, read a very long letter threatening that the girls will be sold into international slave.
The group released the video just a day after President Goodluck Jonathan said in a media chat that the where about of the girls are unknown, but promised to rescue them.
There are however indication that western drones will soon be deployed on Nigerian and international airspace to locate the girls and possibly launch an attack on the stronghold of Boko Haram.
