Boko Haram admits abducting Nigeria girls from Chibok

About 230 girls are still believed to be missing, prompting widespread criticism of the Nigerian government. Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram says it carried out the abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls in April. Naomi Mutah took part in a meeting on Sunday called by the president's wife, Patience Jonathan. Shortly afterwards, she was taken to a police station. Meanwhile, a woman who helped organise protests over the abduction has been detained, her fellow community leaders say. But one of her fellow protesters told Reuters Ms Mutah was calling on the authorities to "bring back our daughters" in the broader sense of "daughters of Nigeria". The girls were abducted on 14 March from their school in Chibok, in the northern state of Borno.
