AFRICA KIDNAPPED NIGERIAN GIRLS DESCRIBE KIDNAPPING ORDEAL
Some of the girls who managed to escape after being abducted last month from a school in northeastern Nigeria by the group Boko Haram have given harrowing accounts of their ordeal. 
Standing alongside their parents, the students described how the gunmen commanded the hundreds of students at the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School to gather outside, before going into a storeroom and taking all the food.
More than 300 girls were abducted on April 15 from their school in Chibok in the country's remote northeast. Fifty-three escaped and 276 remain captive.
The escaped girls spoke to visiting Borno state officials on May 5. In the video, which was handed out by the Borno State governor's office, the women gathered at the school cried, as the students spoke of their ordeal.

NIGERIAN BOKO HARAM PLANS TO SELL THE 276 ABDUCTED GIRLS TO THE MARKET?
Suspected
Boko Haram gunmen have kidnapped eight girls aged between 12 and 15
from a village near one of their strongholds in northeast Nigeria.
A police source said the girls were taken away in the early hours of Tuesday on trucks, along with looted livestock and food.
The Islamist rebels are still holding 276 girls they abducted from a secondary school on April 14.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video released on Monday that Allah had told him to sell the girls taken by his fighters from a secondary school in the village of Chibok, in northeastern Borno state.
The abduction on Tuesday appears to bear similarities to the mass kidnapping
on Good Friday.
In the Chibok attack, as with the Warabe seizure, the militants arrived
disguised as soldiers.
