A Nigerian court has jailed a Boko Haram militant involved in the 2014 kidnapping of the Chibok girls.

Haruna Yahaya, age 35, is the first member of the group to be sentenced for playing a part in the mass abduction.

According to BBC news, the former trader, who confessed to his role in taking the 276 schoolgirls, argued he was made to act under duress.

But judges sitting at a military court, who are hearing the cases of more than 1,000 suspected Boko Haram militants, dismissed his excuse.
