Chibok Girls Reveal Why They Refused To Be Freed

A negotiator who facilitated the recent release of 82 of the girls had said some of the abductees were reluctant to be freed.

In the video, uploaded to YouTube by Sahara Reporters, one of the girls, clutching an AK47 rifle, responded to questions from a man believed to be a Boko Haram commander. Other girls were seen sitting around her.

Below is a trancript of the question-and-answer session between the commander and the girl.
