Dis na foto of suspected bandits wey meet Kaduna based cleric Sheik Gumi earlier in March 2021. Di kidnappers don release video showing di students, more than six weeks afta gunmen enter dia school on Friday, 12 March pack dem go. Kaduna govnor Nasir El-Rufai, just around di same time di video drop, yan say pressure from pipo no go make am change im position not to negotiat with terrorists and bandits. El-Rufai tok folow di re-appearance of one video from 2014 wey show am dey call on goment of former president Goodluck Jonathan to negotiate for di release of di Chibok Girls afta dia abduction. Dis na five things wey happun for di video wey di students kidnappers release 1. Di intro show say di kidnappers dey eager for attention From di beginning of di four minute fifty five seconds video wey di kidnappers do using Hausa language dem first introduce dia victims as students of Kaduna College of Forestry. And one of di kidnappers tell di oda say make dem make female students tok first. "Ka bari mace ta fara magana."(allow female to tok first) one of dem was heard telling di oda kidnapper. Dem do dis one before dem call di first lady to speak. 2. Female student wey first tok call on parents to helep Di female student wey di kidnappers allow to tok first in Hausa language tok say she dey beg parents to helep dem. "Parents abeg make una helep us, no be small suffer we dey here, make una gather money come save us." 3.
