President
Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the Boko Haram’s release of 21 out of the over
200 Chibok school girls the
terrorist group abducted in 2014.
“As I depart Abuja for
Germany on an official visit, I welcome the release of 21 of our Chibok Girls,
following successful negotiations,” Mr. Buhari said on Twitter few minutes
after the news broke out.
“The Department of
State Services (DSS) has briefed me on the matter, and will continue to provide
updates.
“Cooperation on the
security & humanitarian situation in the Northeast will form a significant
part of my discussions with Chancellor Merkel,” the president said.
Boko Haram kidnapped
nearly 300 female students from a secondary school in Chibok on April 14, 2014,
provoking international outrage.
More than 50 managed to
escape on the day they were captured.
Since then, there has
only been one confirmed release since then. In May, 19-year-old Amina Nkeki was
found carrying by the Civilian JTF.
