Well, what is sweeter than freedom? What would make hardened criminals like Boko Haram fighters happier than a sweet "go and sin no more, your sins are forgiven?"
President Muhammadu Buhari is offering Boko Haram insurgents amnesty and reintegration into the larger society and the only condition is the release of the abducted Chibok girls.
In an interview with the AFP on Wednesday, President Buhari who is on a three day visit to France said that the Federal Government has been talking with captured Boko Haram fighters and could give them amnesty if the terror group handed over more than 200 girls kidnapped from Chibok High School on the night of 14 April 2014.
His words :
“We are trying to see whether we can negotiate with the Boko Haram prisoners in our custody for the release of the Chibok girls.
“If the Boko Haram leadership eventually agrees to turn over the Chibok girls to us, the complete number, then we may decide to give them (the prisoners) amnesty.”
