According to President Buhari, Boko Haram leaders are asking for the
freedom of one of its arrested leaders in exchange for the release of
the over 200 kidnapped Chibok girls. Buhari said this while speaking to
Nigerians living in Paris yesterday September 15th.
"They wanted us to release one of their leaders who is a strategic
person in developing and making Improvised IEDs that is causing a lot of
havoc in the country by blowing people in Churches, Mosque, market
places, motor parks and other places. But it's very important that if we
are going to talk to any body, we have to know how much he is worth.
Let them bring all the girls and then, we will be prepared to negotiate,
I will allow them to come back to Nigeria or to be absolved in the
community.
We have to be very careful, the concern we have for the Chibok girls,
one only imagine if they got a daughter there between 14 and 18 and for
more than one and a half year, a lot of the parents who have died would
rather see the graves of their daughters rather the condition they
imagine they are in.
This has drawn a lot of sympathy though out the world, that is why this
government is getting very hard in negotiating and getting the balance
of those who are alive, ” he said
