In Nigeria, Aisha Wakil commonly referred to as 'Mama Boko Haram'  is alleging the militant group is responsible for the abduction of 110 girls from Dapchi. Wakil is a prominent lawyer and human rights activist. She has close ties to Boko Haram's founder and has previously negotiated the release of hostages. Wakil alleges ISIL in West Africa called her to confirm Boko Haram had custody of the girls. The Nigerian government has yet to respond to her claims. CGTN's Kelechi Emekalam has more.
