LAGOS,
Nigeria (AP) -- The mother of a kidnapped Chibok schoolgirl is
demanding that Nigeria's president free detained Boko Haram militants in
exchange for the more than 200 girls held captive, as the Islamic
extremists have offered.
At least 218 Chibok girls are missing after being abducted from a remote school in April 2014.
A
new Boko Haram video shows dozens of the abducted girls with one saying
that "some" have died in military air strikes. Nigeria's defense
ministry is disputing that, saying it is rare for innocent civilians to
be killed in the bombings.
Esther Yakubu, the
mother of a kidnapped girl who begs to be freed in the new video, says
the government should just release the militants.
