As the Nigerian military says it rescued 293 girls and women from Sambisa Forest, the elders in Borno say they need evidence and pictures of the rescued captives.

Speaking to Reuters, Borno Elders Forum said via its spokesman Bulama Mali Gubio saaying,

“If the soldiers have indeed rescued 200 girls and 93 women then they should show them. When [Abubakar] Shekau kidnapped the Chibok girls he released video footage for everyone to see — this is the age of modern technology. Whether these are the same girls or not, people will be skeptical until they see their pictures on the news.”
