Islamist sect Boko Haram claims that the girls shown in their latest video are some of the schoolgirls kidnapped from a hostel in Chibok on 14 April.
BBC News reports that the video shows at least 100 girls who have supposedly been converted to Islam.
Reuters reports that the video shows the girls praying while wearing full veils.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has demanded the release of imprisoned Boko Haram members in exchange for the abducted girls.
According to a report by The Telegraph, Shekau will only return the children to their parents once all the imprisoned members have been released.
The Nigerian army's attempts to rescue the girls have been unsuccessful and their location has yet to be determined.
