Mutali told SaharaReportes in a telephone interviews that she watched the video and spotted her daughter, Douka Yakubu, among 130 kidnapped girls wearing hijabs and reciting parts of the Qur'an in an unknown rural location.
She also said that two of the identified girls are seniors from Askari Uba Secondary School and Wuyo Secondary School near Chibok.
When asked if the parents possess any information regarding the location of the girls, Mutali said they kept hearing that their children were in Sambisa forest, the stronghold of Boko Haram.
School mates also identified three of the girls in the video, the BBC reports.
"The video got parents apprehensive again after watching it but the various steps taken by the governments and the coming of the foreign troops is boosting our spirit, even though I have not seen the any one soldier in Chibok yet," Dumoma Mpur, parent-teachers association chairman at Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, told Reuters by telephone on Tuesday.
Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima ordered on May 12 for mass production of the video to enable parents identify their children.
A Chibok community leader Allan Manasseh told SaharaReporters that he personally visited seven parents and also met with one of the girls who escaped from the Boko Haram captivity, but none could recognize any of the girls in the video.



Manasseh expressed concern that the insurgents may be using the new video to distract the world from pursuing the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls. He said that the video demonstrated that Boko Haram had many girls in their possession, stating that all them should to be rescued.
Boko Haram issued the video on Monday. The rebels' leader Abubakar Shekau said in the video that majority of the girls have converted to Islam and those who did not could be exchanged for the insurgents held in various prisons across Nigeria.
