Tears in Chibok, world leaders in shock as Buhari gives up on abducted girls till further notice, says girls not more important than 20,000 killed by B'Haram

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he is not ready and would never talk about the release of the over 200 girls abducted from a secondary school dormitory in Chibok town in Borno State until he sees genuine leaders of Boko Haram who are ready to come out , identify themselves and prove with credible evidence that the girls are safely in their custody.

The president made the disclosure in an interview  with the Hausa Service of the Voice of America during while in the United States of America.

His words:

“You should not forget that Boko Haram has killed at least 20,000 Nigerians. Chibok girls are about 230 or 220. There are some people who are calling on the government to negotiate with the captors of these girls.

“I have addressed this issue three times, and I have no intention of doing anything again until they come out to identify themselves as leaders of Boko Haram, and that they are the ones holding these girls.”

Buhari maintained that for the government to consider dialogue with the terrorist group on the realise of the girls, the group should also “give location of the girls and the condition of their health, which can also be verified. This is when negotiation can take place.

“It is not feasible where one person will come out today to say he can free three of them and tomorrow another person comes forward to say he will bring out five. It is 220 that we want to see. What is their condition? We can then agree to discuss and have the girls; reunite them with their families and have them back in school.”
