Boko Haram terrorists group have claimed responsibility for the Kankara abduction in a new video.

The new video obtained by the BBC saw the leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau saying his members were responsible for the abduction of the school children.

According to BBC Hausa reports, the four minutes video was released three days after over 500 students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara in Katsina State were taken captive.

The BBC report disclosed that the state government had earlier hinted that bandits were responsible for the abduction and they have contacted the government.
