Boko Haram: "Release our Bomb maker"

While speaking to Nigerians living in Paris yesterday September 15th, President Buhari said the Boko Haram is demanding for the release of one of its leaders in exchange for the freedom of over 200 Chibok girls.

In his statement,

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 also assured Nigerians that his government is doing everything possible to improve th e state of the economy to provision of infrastructure in critical areas in the Country.
