{Hopes for the release of the 219 girls abducted from a secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, were dashed Friday after Abubakar Shekau, leader of the outlawed Jama’atu Ahlis Sunnah Lidda’awati Wall Jihad, also known as Boko Haram, said in a new video clip that they have all been married off.}
Shekau also dismissed claims by the federal government that the group had agreed to a truce, stressing that even the schoolgirls who initially refused to accept Islam have now had a change of mind. “Anybody who says plans are underway for the release of the girls is just daydreaming. They would not be returned,” he said in the video.
