Abducted Girls--Two Dead,Others Critically Ill

 An alleged Boko Haram spokesman has reported that two of the abducted girls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State in a night raid by the insurgents have died from snakebite. He alos said 20 of the girls are critically ill.

The said spokesman also claimed that those who were Christians among the missing girls had been forced to convert to Islam.

This is coming not long after the leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau released a video claiming responsibility for the abduction of the girls,adding that it was Allah who sent him to do so.

He however did not reveal the number of girls nor where they were being held hostage.
It is still not clear the number of girls that were kidnapped as the number keeps changing. At first it was reported that the number of girls abducted were 234, later security operatives said 276 were kidnapped.

Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had over the weekend published the list of 178 abducted students, out of them 163 Christian girls and only 15 Muslim girls.

Following the girls abduction and failure to secure their release, there has been protests all over the nation and outside the country with people calling for the release of the girls.
