Senior Special
Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on
Tuesday revealed what one of the Chibok schoolgirls who refused to be part of
those freed from Boko Haram told negotiators.
According todailypost.ng, the presidential aide said the girl stated that she would stay
back because she had married one of the Boko Haram fighters.
“One said, ‘No,
I have a husband. I’m happy where I am’; and then, 82 came back,” Shehu quoted
the girl in an interview on Channels Television.
He said that the
initial negotiation had been for the release of 83 of the girls abducted from
the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, in April 2014.
On re-uniting
the girls with the families, Shehu said: “Names of the released girls have been
published already but we do not want a repeat of duplications that we had when
the first set of 21 girls were released.
