Abubakar Shekau leads the Islamist group, which has killed thousands in northern Nigeria
Suspected Boko Haram militants have kidnapped eight more girls in northeastern Nigeria.
The latest kidnapping happened on Sunday night in the village
of Warabe, in Borno state. The girls taken were between the ages of 12
and 15.On Monday, Boko Haram's leader threatened to "sell" more than 230 girls seized from their school, also in Borno, on 14 April.
The Islamist insurgency by Boko Haram has left thousands dead since 2009.
The BBC's Mansur Liman in Abuja says the area around Warabe, the site of the latest abductions, is a stronghold of the Islamist movement.
