Nigeria: We Are Negotiating Release of Chibok Girls - - Buhari
By Sani Tukur
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday said his administration was continuing negotiation for the release of the abducted Chibok school girls.
Over 200 school girls were abducted by the insurgent group, Boko Haram, from their school hostel in Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state in April 2014.
The abduction and the subsequent threat by the leadership of the terrorist group that the girls were being "sold off" and "married off" drew international attention and condemnation.

Mr. Buhari in a speech to mark Democracy Day on Sunday said during the last one year of his administration, "not a single day passed without my agonizing about these girls".
He said his governments' efforts have centred around "negotiations to free them safely from their mindless captors", adding, " we are still pursuing that course"
