The Nigerian President, General Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd) has vowed not to release the developer of Boko Haram’s improvised explosive device (IED) which the sect said was a
condition for releasing the Chibok girls, ITRealms reports.
“The
issue of Chibok girls has occupied our minds and because of the international
attention it drew and the sympathy throughout the country and the world, the
government is negotiating with some of the Boko Haram leadership.
“It is a very sensitive development in the sense that
first we have to establish, are they genuine leaders of the Boko Haram. That is
number one. Number two, what are their terms, the first impression we had was
not very encouraging,“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 is very important that if we are going to
talk to anybody, we have to know how much he is worth”.
President Muhammadu Buhari, Tuesday, in France stated
that his government has kicked off negotiations with Boko Haram to secure the
release of over 200 Chibok girls. It will be recalled that about 219 school
girls were abducted by the sect from their school in Chibok Community, Borno
State over a year ago.
Speaking with members of the Nigerian community in France
under the auspices of Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), ITRealms learnt,
the president who is currently on a three day official visit to the French
country said:
“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.”
