Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro says the video of a young girl being stoned to death, currently circulating the web is NOT related to the recent Chibok abduction crisis.
The video shows horrific graphic content of a group of men, burying a young girl in the ground up to neck level and then proceeding to stone her to death. It has soon gone viral with Nigerian bloggers suggesting that the video was recorded after the April 14 Chibok abduction and the crime was committed by members of the Boko Haram sect.
Obanikoro says this video was recorded years back.
The video flying around of one of our missing girls allegedly being stoned is as old as 2013 and perhaps, older. Verify before you tweet.

Other reports say the video was posted by another terrorist group Al-shabab and not Boko Haram. The website where the video was uploaded shows the upload date as March 23, 2013. It was uploaded by one ‘shaper85’.

WE got the luck not to see one of the Nigerian schoolgirls in a terrible video like this, but please, don’t forget this poor baby who was stoned in Somalia the 27 October 2008 by Al-Shabaab militia in Kismayo stadium. This video captured her terrible death, she was 13 years old, her name was Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow and she was raped the day before by three al-Shabaab men. She went to the police station to report the rape but the armed group in charge of Kismayo had accused her of adultery and stoned her few hours later. She’s a hero, a real one. She deserved to live.
Please don’t let these sad images without understanding what these beasts did to a child under a false accuse and Sharia laws. Document yourself about her life and don’t forget her.
Hope our girls will soon be back home.
