hehehehe.....Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Muhammad, at a press conference
in Abuja today denied reports that the Federal Government swapped four
high profile Boko Haram militants to secure the release of the 21 Chibok
school girls as reported by Sahara Reporters.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, earlier stated
that the release was as a result of ongoing negotiations between the
government and Boko Haram, brokered by the International Red Cross and
the Swiss government. This was corroborated by Lai Mohammed.
“Please note that this is not a swap, but a release. The release of
these girls does not mean an end to military operations, but it is a new
phase in the war against insurgency. People want to believe bad news
than good news. The girls were released, there was no swap."
Photos obtained exclusively by CNN show some of the 21 girls who were
released by Boko Haram to the military today. The 21 are said to be
among the 276 girls that Boko Haram militants kidnapped in April 2014.
The rescued girls are now on their way to Abuja where they would be
received by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. Another photo abeg
