Video: Boko Haram Displays Schoolboys Kidnapped From Katsina

The Abubakar Shekau-led faction of Boko Haram has released a video confirming that it has custody of the students abducted from a government secondary school in Kankara, Katsina State, last Friday.

The release also confirms that the students are still alive and the terror group is prepared to negotiate their freedom.

The video made public on Thursday is six minutes and 30 seconds long and features speeches from Shekau and one of the schoolboys who looked distraught and bloodied.
