Some schoolgirls kidnapped in
Nigeria last year have been forced to join Islamist militant
group Boko Haram, the BBC said Monday.
Witnesses say some are now being used to terrorise other
captives, and are even carrying out killings themselves.
The testimony cannot be verified but Amnesty International
says other girls kidnapped by Boko Haram have been forced to
fight.
Boko Haram has killed some 5,500 civilians in Nigeria
since 2013.
Some 219 schoolgirls from Chibok are still missing, more
than a year after they were kidnapped from their school in
northern Nigeria. Many of those seized are Christians.
