Over 100 abducted Chibok girls are unwilling to leave Boko Haram and return home

Nigeria's government is negotiating the release of another 83 of the Chibok schoolgirls taken in a mass abduction two-and-a-half years ago.

But more than 100 others appear unwilling to leave their Boko Haram Islamic extremist captors, a community leader said on Tuesday.

According to AP, the unwilling girls may have been radicalized by Boko Haram or are ashamed to return home because they were forced to marry extremists and have babies, chairman Pogu Bitrus of the Chibok Development Association said.
