Nigeria Chibok girls 'shown alive' in Boko Haram video

A video released by the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram appears to prove that some of the schoolgirls kidnapped two years ago from the town of Chibok are still alive.

The video, sent to the Nigerian government, shows 15 girls in black robes identifying themselves as pupils abducted from the secondary school.  

Some of those filmed have been identified by their parents.

It is the first footage of the girls since May 2014.
