00:54government area of Borno State, this, during the attacks, numbers of people were
00:59also taken hostage by the insurgents, with speculations indicating that the hostages were apparently being held at the rugged terrain
01:07of the Mandara Mountains, which sit wide across the Nigeria border with Cameroon, that aside, one of the spokespersons of
01:15the Boko Haram group said they decided to release a proof of life video of the 416 women and children
01:22in their captivity, following the demands made across to them by the Borno South Youths Alliance, Bosia,
01:28and according to the statement issued by the Bosia when they made the video public on Friday, April 10, 2026,
01:36the youths group called on federal government and governments at all level to ensure the hostages are released, saying specifically
01:44that,
01:44we have witnessed cases in states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, and Kebi where abducted victims regained freedom following interventions
01:53by individuals such as Sheikh Ahmed Gumi, we therefore expect equal urgency and commitment in addressing the plight of the
02:01Ingosh victims, no region or group of citizens should be treated with less priority.
02:06In the footage, several women and elderly men were interviewed by the Boko Haram spokesperson.
02:13The kidnapped victims' pleas centered on three main points directly addressed to President Bola Tanubu, Vice President Kashin Shatima, and
02:21Governor Babagana Zulam, begging the President and Governor to find a way to bring them home within the shortest possible
02:27time.
02:28The captives expressed fear that a direct military assault on the camp where they're being held could result in the
02:34deaths.
02:35They echoed the Bosia apparent sentiment, asking the government to use the same negotiation channels used in northern states like
02:43Zamfara, Katsina, Kebi, Sokoto, and Kaduna states.
02:48While the terrorists claimed in the video that they are not torturing the victims, the captives highlighted that many children
02:54are falling ill due to the harsh conditions of the forest and the lack of proper food and medicine.
02:59The Borno South Youth Alliance, Bosia, in a statement signed by its President, Samayla Ibrahim Kaigamaab made available on Friday
03:09alongside the Proof of Life video, said it, wishes to inform the public that we have been actively and discreetly
03:15mediating for the release of our southern Borno brothers and sisters who were abducted when insurgents over an Ingosh.
03:22Following days of engagement, discussions, and humanitarian appeals, we were provided with an official figure of 416 victims currently alive
03:32in captivity by the abductors.
03:34This figure differs from earlier reports circulated by sections of the media, which underestimated the true scale of the situation.
03:43Bosia remains the voice of southern Borno youths and indigenes.
03:47As such, we are committed to continuing all possible efforts through mediation, advocacy, and engagement to secure the safe release
03:55of our people.
03:56Our actions are guided solely by the need to protect lives and restore dignity.
04:02To affected families, we wish to state clearly and unequivocally that Bosia does not support terrorism, insurgency, or the abduction
04:10of innocent civilians.
04:11However, as representatives of our people, we are prepared to take bold and necessary steps in pursuit of solutions, especially
04:20lasting solutions to the persistent insecurity affecting our region.
04:24The voices of the kidnapped victims must be heard not just nationally, but globally.
04:29We therefore call on the following leaders and authorities to urgently intervene.
04:34The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tanubu, Asawaju Bola Ahmed Tanubu.
04:41The Vice President, Kashin Shatima Kashin Shatima.
04:45The Distinguished Senator Representing Southern Borno, Mohamed Ali Ndume.
04:50All relevant government officials and stakeholders at both federal and state levels.
04:55We have witnessed cases in states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, and Kebi where abducted victims regained freedom following interventions
05:04by individuals such as Sheikh Ahmed Gumi.
05:07We therefore expect equal urgency and commitment in addressing the plight of the Ingosh victims.
05:13No region or group of citizens should be treated with less priority.
05:18The freedom, safety, and well-being of the abducted victims from Guos are particularly those from Ingosh are non-negotiable.
05:26We urge the government to act decisively, just as they have been doing in other parts of the country.
05:32Furthermore, we call on the Nigerian government, international partners, the United Nations, and global leaders including Donald Trump to support
05:41efforts toward the safe and immediate release of all abducted victims.
05:45Among them are vulnerable groups, including infants, young children, elderly individuals, and women in extremely fragile conditions.
05:54Let it be known to the world that Bosya is actively mediating and advocating for the release of Southern Borno
06:01indigenes held captive.
06:02We also call on both the Nigerian government and the Borno state government to demonstrate visible and measurable efforts in
