One of the Mothers of the abducted Chibok girls has identified her daughter in a video posted by the insurgents which showed scores of girls held captive.
The mother watched the video on television on Monday evening and spotted her daughter among the girls sitting on the ground wearing veils, said Dumoma Mpur, parent-teachers association chairman at Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, northeastern Nigeria.
The Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, issued the video on Monday offering to release more than 200 schoolgirls, who were kidnapped from the school in a raid on April 15, in exchange for prisoners held by the government.
The Nigerian government said it was exploring all options in its effort to rescue the girls. The United States and Britain have sent experts to help with the search and Nigeria has sent two divisions to the northeastern border region.
