Deadly group, Boko Haram is offering to free more
than 200 young women and girls kidnapped from a
boarding school in the town of Chibok in exchange
for the release of militant leaders held by the
government.

According to an activist, who pleaded anonymity with
AP because he was not authorized to talk to reporters
on the sensitive issue, it was revealed that Boko
Haram’s current offer is limited to the girls from the
school in northeastern Nigeria whose mass
abduction in April 2014.


“The new initiative reopens an offer made last year to
the government of former President Goodluck
Jonathan to release the 219 students in exchange for
16 Boko Haram detainees, the activist said.

He said the 5-week-old administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari offers “a clean slate” to bring
the militants back to negotiations that had become
poisoned by the different security agencies and their
advice to Jonathan.

It will be recalled that Presidential adviser Femi
Adesina on Saturday stated that the Buhari led
government “will not be averse” to talks with Boko
Haram.
