According to media reports, the Federal Government and the International Committee of Red Cross have had clandestine meetings with Boko Haram in a bid to strike an agreement- 30 Boko Haram commanders in custody for more than 200 kidnapped Chibok Girls.
On the night of 14 April 2014, about 276 female students from Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno state were kidnapped by unknown Gun men, later believed to be Boko Haram insurgents after a video confirmation from the group’s leader Abubakar Shekau.
Since then, it has been all gloomy for the families of the victims, as the Federal Government is yet to setup a sensible method of operation for the release of the innocent students. Infact, the Government has come under heavy scrutiny for what critic’s term a “Snail Like” response from President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
Recent successful Bombings by the dreadful Islamic sect in Northern Nigeria, has speculated that some of the Chibok Girls are being used for suicide missions to evade security perlustrations , though recent unraveling squashes such assertion.
With the latest development, there is light down the tunnel for the Kidnapped girls. The Federal Government is prepared to break a standard protocol by negotiating with the terrorists.
Since a rescue mission by the Nigeria military in Sambisa is deemed too dangerous, negotiating with the perpetrators seems the only viable procedure to adopt, amid ramifications for such modulus operandi.
We are putting this sensitive question to readers: Should Nigeria enter a crucial Negotiation stage with the dreadful Islamic sect Boko Haram to secure the release of over 200 kidnapped Chibok Girls?
I Think It Will Be A Wrong Step To Reconcile With Worthyless And Useless Insurgents As Deadly As The So Called boko haram The Best Way Is To Fight Them With Every Possible Means
Their is no level of negotiation that can make one’s enemy not to fight him. Nigerian should continue in prayer that God should defeat every evil forces behind bokoharam
Are you releasing the BH commanders so that they can go back to their farms or to the warfront? Or are you releasing the 30 BH commanders so that they can be free to attack and kill/kidnap/maim other people. You want to worsen the mayhem? I wonder who is advising on this dangerous move? It makes no sense at all.
