<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
President Goodluck Jonathan is currently under pressure from some prominent Nigerians and some of his influential aides to accept the prisoner swap offer made by Boko Haram to release the over 200 schoolgirls it abducted from their school in Chibok on April 14, investigation has revealed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau, had in a recent video asked for the release of Boko Haram members detained by security agencies across the country in exchange for the abducted girls.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Although the Presidency had ruled out what it called “trade by barter” in securing the release of the schoolgirls, some top government officials, including the Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, had at different times said the government would go to any length to ensure that the girls were brought back to safety.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
But it was learnt on Sunday that the President was being pressured by some prominent Nigerians to accede to the demands of the sect.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Their argument, it was gathered , was that what Nigerians and the international community were<br />
interested in at this time was the release of the girls and not the process leading to it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
“Some prominent Nigerians are already reaching out to the President on the need for him to change his stand on the matter and do anything that can lead to the release of the girls. They are of the view that the release is the most important thing now,” a source close to the Presidency said in Abuja.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
He did not name the prominent Nigerians whom he said had reached out to Jonathan on the matter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The source added that some of the President’s top aides were also of the view that inasmuch as the girls were still in the abductors’ den, Jonathan’s goodwill among Nigerians and on the international scene would continue to dwindle.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
This, they argued, would not do the President and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party any good as election year approaches.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Our source said If the President finally yields to the pressure, the release of the Boko Haram members in detention would not be made a public issue like when their wives and children were freed last year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The source said this was to avoid the moral burden of justifying the release of criminals in exchange for innocent girls.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
He added that once the decision was finally taken, the sect members who had already been convicted by courts might not benefit from the arrangement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The source was not sure whether Shekau would also enjoy the luxury of naming his members who should benefit from the exchange or not.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
He said, “Some of us are on the same page with these prominent Nigerians on this matter. Government should not be seen to be too rigid on this matter if we must get result.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
“The way it is going, if the pressure is sustained, I see the President giving up on the matter in coming days and processes leading to the consummation of the agreement will be done behind the scene.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
“This is why some government officials have been saying that the government will explore all options. It is our belief that this should be done as secretly as possible because of those who do not see the sense in government releasing criminals in exchange for the innocent girls.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The Northern Elders’ Forum had said no sacrifice was too much to bring back the girls, even if it included releasing Boko Haram prisoners.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The forum’s spokesman Prof. Ango Abdullahi, had told SATURDAY PUNCH that, “every sacrifice is worth making to get these girls released from wherever they are kept.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Jonathan had in May last year directed the Defence headquarters to release some Boko Haram members in its custody.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The decision was said to have been in furtherance of the Federal Government’’ position in response to requests by the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Reconciliation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The Spokesman for the President, Reuben Abati, had at that time said Jonathan’s directive was evidence of his government’s multi-dimensional approach to tackling the security challenge in some parts of the country</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
General Buhari through his camp has stated that the reports are false as he has no adopted son.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
This was contained in a statement released by the Buhari Vanguard on behalf of the General.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong style="margin-bottom: 15px;">Read full statement below:</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) wishes to state categorically that he does not have any adopted son called “Muhammadu Buhari” and had no need to adopt a son at any time having been blessed with choice children, both male and female.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Muhammadu Buhari and his family do not know the said “Muhammed Buhari” who is alleged to be involved in a N20m scam and is being held by EFCC as reported by Saharareporters.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
It is regrettable to note that after several unsuccessful attempts to smear the hard earned respect, popularity, dignity, and enviable image of Muhammadu Buhari, mischief makers have resorted to a laughable tactic of linking Muhammadu Buhari to a crime just because someone who has been alleged to have committed a crime somewhere bears the name “Buhari”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Muhammadu Buhari is blessed with very descent and disciplined children who obviously took after their father. His children have no single record of stealing and inordinate behavior anywhere in the world. They do not seek attention, but have proven the stuff their father is made of any time their character is put to test.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
However, this is understandable, since the entire attempts by mischief makers to discredit Muhammadu Buhari as an individual have failed. We frown at this poorly articulated gimmick to indirectly link Muhammadu Buhari and his family to a crime allegedly committed by someone unknown to him and his family just for the fact that the said suspect bears the name “Muhammed Buhari”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
We urge Nigerians to ignore the said report as Muhammadu Buhari and his family will continue to set the pace for others to follow in good character and conduct.</div>

In another news, the British surveillance jet which was on its way to Nigeria to help in the search for missing Chibok girls reportedly broke down in Senegal due to unspecified technical problems.<br />
<br />
UK Ministry of Defense released a statement explaining this...<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"A technical fault which has delayed the Sentinel aircraft on its way to Ghana is being investigated and will be solved as soon as possible. In the meantime the UK military team continues its work on the ground while other surveillance aircraft continue the search for the missing schoolgirls," .</blockquote>
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, announced that Britain would offer Nigeria a surveillance jet to help in the search of the missing girls.</div>

According to two soldiers who spoke with SR, emotions ran high when they saw the bodies of their colleagues ambushed and killed by Boko Haram men in Chibok, Borno state. The angry soldiers immediately started shooting into the air, complaining that their superior have failed to provide them with adequate weaponry with which to fight the war against the better-armed Boko Haram militants.</div>

“We the soldiers don’t have the kind of arms and ammunition that [Boko Haram] fighters have. So everyday, they kill our men anyhow, but it is never published in the media,” said one source.

The parents of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls and their classmates converged at the Government House, Maiduguri, Borno State, to identify the girls who were shown in a video released by Boko Haram on Monday(yesterday).</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The exercise which was painstaking and lasted throughout the day and last night, however, yielded some results, as parents, girls from Chibok secondary school and Borno State Government officials, were able to identify 54 of the abducted girls who featured in the video. And about 80 girls have now been identified so far.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Shortly after the terror sect released the video, the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, had directed that it should be reproduced and distributed so that the parents of the girls could identify their daughters.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
But for other parents who could not identify their daughters, the pain and sorrow continued, with speculation rising that some of the girls who appeared in the video may have been kidnapped before April 14 from other communities in Borno.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The leader of the terrorist group, Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, had released a video on Monday showing over a hundred of the kidnapped girls who are believed to have been abducted from their secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, a month ago.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
He had said that the girls, all dressed in the Muslim hijab and reciting verses of the Qu’ran, would only be released if the federal government accepts to exchange them for members of his sect who have been in government detention facilities for years.</div>

<br />
In his ruling in a suit instituted by Sanusi to bar the FRCN from probing him, Justice John Tsoho held that given the circumstances, the FRCN had not complied with the provisions of the law.<br />
<br />
<br />
In granting Sanusi’s prayers, the judge said that allowing the probe to go on could be likened to the case of the proverbial cockroach, which found itself in the midst of fowls.<br />
<br />
He said the cockroach under such circumstance was presumed guilty, adding that “since prevention is better than cure” the court should rule against the proposed investigation.<br />
<br />
He had urged the court to stop the investigation into the CBN records during his tenures as governor on the ground that FRCN had found him guilty before commencing the probe.<br />
<br />
The judge said the commission had already reached its conclusion as to the culpability of Sanusi, given the commission’s briefing note attached to the letter suspending him as the CBN governor on February 20, 2014, and newspaper advertisement inviting him for the probe,.<br />
<br />
Sanusi, through his counsel, Mr. Kola Awodein (SAN), insisted that the suspended CBN boss had not been given the benefit of fair hearing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
“We do not know if they are members of Boko Haram or if they are robbers”, an official of the school said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
“The sad thing is that parents do not want to know if it’s Boko Haram or not. Many of them are coming to take away their children out of panic”.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">Vine International school's proprietress confirmed the gunmen tried to enter her school but eventually couldn’t. And NO child was taken away by them. Just their school bus.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">Security in Nyanya really needs to be boosted cos residents are so scared. Someone living there, in Federal Housing Estate Nyanya,said that the govern</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">ment needs to bring in more troops into Nyanya, cos apparently, it seems Boko Haram has invaded the Nyanya environment.</span></div>

UPDATE: According to statement on the Facebook page of the Nigerian Police force, the early morning attack on Vine International school was a robbery attack and not an attack by Boko Haram.</div>

sect has on Monday claimed responsibility for the abduction of over 267 pupils
of Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, in Borno State which took place
on April 14.</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The Agence France-Presse quoted the leader of the sect, Abubakar
Shekau, as making the claim in a video the agency said it obtained.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Shekau, in the video, also threatened to sell off the abducted
girls in defiant response to the international outrage that greeted the
kidnapping of the girls from their hostel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the seizure of the girls
barely 24hours after President Goodluck Jonathan told the nation that no group
had claimed responsibility for the abduction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Shekau
was quoted to have said,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: red; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">“I
abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah.”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">He spoke just as the Daily Telegraph of London reported that a
former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is now a UN special envoy on
education, led calls for Western governments to assist with the rescue of the
girls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">According to the report, a Foreign Office spokesman said the
government was in talks with the Nigerian Government and ‘security services’
but declined to say if that might include Special Forces, such as the SAS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The United States Secretary of State, John Kerry, over the
weekend also promised America’s help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">He said, “The kidnapping of hundreds of children by Boko Haram
is an unconscionable crime and we will do everything possible to support
the Nigerian government to return these young women to their homes
and to hold the perpetrators to justice.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">When the Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen
Chris Olukolade was contacted, he said that the military authorities had
not seen the said video.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">He said that even if there was such a video, the claim would
have to be verified.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Olukolade added that the military had been treating all claims
and pieces of information relating to the abduction of the schoolgirls with the
deserved seriousness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The Defence spokesman added,“On the so- called video or message
from the terrorists, let me reiterate the fact that the military is taking
every information or claims on this abduction with due seriousness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">“This claim will also be studied although it will not distract
the ongoing search.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">A source said that the move was part of a conspiracy to
frustrate government investigation into the incident.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The BBC, also citing the video obtained by the AFP, also quoted
Shekau as saying the girls should not have been in school in the first place,
but rather should get married.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">“</span><em><span style="color: red; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">God
instructed me to sell them, they are his properties and I will carry out his
instructions</span></em><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Assurances from President Goodluck Jonathan have done little to
convince Nigerians of the government’s commitment to freeing the girls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Boko Haram, which means “Western education is forbidden”, has
attacked numerous places of worship and educational institutions in northern
Nigeria.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The Associated Press said it was unclear whether the video was
made before or after reports last week that some of the girls had been forced
to marry their abductors, who paid a nominal bride price of N200.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Others are reported to have been taken across borders into
Cameroon and Chad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The girls were in their final year of school, most of them aged
16 to 18.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Shekau in the 57-minute video also insisted that the girls were
no better than the “booty of war.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The terrorist, who is currently on the most wanted list of both
Nigerian and the US governments, said the abducted schoolgirls were no more
than slaves that he could choose whatever he wanted to do with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">He admitted that the girls had spent over 20 days in his custody
and that he had not treated them any better than the “booty of war.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Shekau who did not display the girls throughout the recording,
said, “We would also give their hands in marriage because they are our slaves.
We would marry them out at the age of nine. We would marry them out at the age
of 12,” it depends on “our choice”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The terrorist leader, who spoke in Hausa and Arabic languages
interchangeably, noted that the girls were captured because they were seeking
Western education.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">“Western education is sin, it is forbidden, and women must go
and marry,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The video, which had been sent to local journalists via
electronic mail, could not however be independently verified<o:p></o:p></span></div>
