A Nigerian terrorist group that kidnapped 212 school girls last April has said that the girls have now been married off to men.
Boko Haram is the name of the gang and they were founded in 2002. Their name means "western education is forbidden."
Their aim is to make Nigeria an all Islam country. Currently 50.8% of the population is Christian with 48.8% Islam.
They plan on achieving this through brutal violence.
Abubakas Shekav is the leader and he has said the kidnapped school girls have now converted to the Islam religion.
He said in a video: "Don't you know the school girls have converted to Islam? They have now memorised two chapters of the Koran."
The Koran is what Muslims follow like Christians and their Bible.
The Nigerian Government led by President Goodluck Jonathon have been trying to fight off the terrorist group and in October they claimed that they had a peace deal with Boko Haram.
However Abubakas Shevak has denied this and claims Boko Haram will not negotiate with the Government.
Nigeria is located in West Africa and is the most populous African country and is known for its rich culture.
Although the Muslims in Boko Haram have killed over 2,000 people this year, they do not reflect the majority of Muslims who follow Islam peacefully.
