WATCH: New Video Reveals Chibok Girls Abducted 2 Years Ago Are Still Alive

A video showing some of 279 Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram two years ago has been released to CNN to show that the abducted girls are still alive.

The video which was aired on the Cable News Network (CNN) shows no fewer than 15 of the abducted girls, confirming that they were the girls taken from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state.

CNN reports the video believed to have been shot in December last year, was obtained from one of the people negotiating for the release of the girls.

The video had been seen by negotiators and some members of the government, but was not shown to the parents of the girls.

3 mothers, Rifkatu Ayuba, Mary Ishaya and Yana Galang were invited to a viewing center in Maiduguri by the chairman of the Chibok Local Government Area, Bana Lawan, to watch the video and they identified their daughters.

Rifkatu Ayuba and Mary Ishaya said they recognized their daughters, Saratu and Hauwa, in the video, while a third mother, Yana Galang, identified 5 of the missing girls.

Rifkatu Ayuba caught sight of her long-lost daughter, now 17-year-old and wailed, ‘My Saratu!’ She subsequently reached out to the laptop screen – the closest she has been to her child in two years.

Ayuba told CNN, “I felt like removing her from the screen. If I could, I would have removed her from the screen.”

As the two-minute clip comes to an end, one of the girls, Naomi Zakaria, urged the Nigerian authorities to help reunite them with their families. She added, “I am speaking on 25 December 2015, on behalf of the all the Chibok girls and we are all well.”
