Alleged B'Haram commander on Chibok girls location

One of the Boko Haram commanders, in an interview granted to the Vice on HBO, has revealed that he knew where the missing Chibok girls are.

He told to a journalist, Kaj Larsen: "I know where they are."

"You want to know where they are? They are not with us. If we can get what we want, we know where they are, we will get them," the Boko Haram member, who asked for anonymity, added.

The Nigerian army has ramped up its operations against the insurgents over the last year, claiming a series of successes and pushing Boko Haram back from several strongholds in the northern part of the country.

The administation of President Muhammadu Buhari has recently announced that the Boko Haram sect has been 'technically defeated'. However, the insurgents continue their attacks and the missing girls have not been rescued.
