According to HumAngles, the sect group today, December 17, released a six minutes and 30 seconds long video that features speeches from Shekau and one of the schoolboys who looked distraught and bloodied.
Tens of other young boys could be seen behind him, all covered in dust and appearing to be within a forest area.
The relatively older student who spoke urged the Federal Government to settle amicably with their abductors and advised against the use of military force in rescuing them.
”All the Army that has come here to help us, please send them back. They can do nothing to them. Please sir, send all the soldiers and jet back. We need your assistance” one of the abducted students say
