Posted by Lolade on Thu 17th Sep, 2015 - tori.ngIn an intensified effort to secure the release of the abducted Chibok girls,President Muhammadu Buhari has hinted a likely new deal to be offered to Boko Haram insurgents.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, September 16, revealed that the federal government might consider giving amnesty to Boko Haram insurgents if they release the Chibok girls in captivity.
He dropped the hint when he spoke with AFP on the last day of his visit to France.
“The few (prisoners) we are holding, we are trying to see whether we can negotiate with them for the release of the Chibok girls.
