Boko Haram to Sell Abducted Girls

A Nigerian Islamist militant group has threatened to sell hundreds of schoolgirls they abducted three weeks ago. The militant leader, Abubakar Shekau sent a video obtained by AFP news, in which was the first time they admitted for taking the girls. 230 are believed to be missing, prompting widespread criticism of the Nigerian government. The Boko Haram have left thousands dead since 2009. The girls were taken from their school in Chibok in the northern state of Borno on April 14th. "Boko Haram", which measn "Western education is forbidden" has staged numerous attacks on educational institutions in northern Nigeria. In the released video, Shekau said that the girls shoud have been married instead of given an education. He also said, "God instructed me to sell them, they are his properties and I will carry out his instructions."
