The tragedy of this story is growing with each new release. The latest to be released from Boko Haram is a video of the schoolgirls wearing hijabs and praying with the claim being that they have converted to Islam and would only be released if Boko Haram prisoners were released.
One father has responded to this by saying
Speaking to the Telegraph, the man – who is not named to protect his child’s identity – said: “I have not yet seen the video, but I am not really interested in what Boko Haram’s demands are,” he said. “My daughter is a Christian, she will never change. I would rather she died as a princess than convert to Islam.”
This man’s sentiments show just how deep the divide is between some Christians and Muslims in Nigeria at the moment and how volatile the political situation has become. You can find the video here.
