Intelligence sources have told Sky News they believe they know where some of the schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria are.
The sources believe they have been split into at least four different groups, complicating the search to find the girls almost four weeks after they were taken by militants from Boko Haram.

The girls were taken from a boarding school in the north of Nigeria Prime Minister David Cameron has told Sky News the abduction is "a ghastly situation, an act of pure evil".
The Islamist militant group's five-year insurgency has left at least 1,500 dead this year alone.
