…FG must renegotiate - Security expert

The Boko Haram terrorist group rejected the ransom offered by the Federal Government to secure the release of Leah Sharibu, sources at the Presidency told Daily Trust yesterday.

Sharibu, a schoolgirl, is the only Dapchi schoolgirl still held hostage out of the 110 kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorist group from the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State, in 2018.

The sources that the money was ready to be delivered when the terrorists, who had made the request for a specific amount totalling millions of Naira in hard currency, changed their minds and rejected any ransom.

They said the Federal Government reached an agreement after a long communication procedure as the channels of communication between top security agents of the government, third parties and the terrorists at times took more than a month to complete one line of messages back and forth.

One of the sources said: “while the Federal Government remains strongly committed to securing the release of Leah and all other identified and unidentified abductees, by any means necessary, the terrorists chose much earlier after Leah’s abduction to use her to fan religious embers and cause devastating division in the country. And that was why the terrorists rejected the ransom government security agencies prepared to pay for Leah’s release.”

The source said top presidential officials still encouraged federal government officials to remain actively engaged with the channels of communication with the negotiators until a positive resolution is secured “because the president has set a firm target and resolve to ensure the freedom of Leah and others by any means necessary.”

Meanwhile, a security expert, Salihu Bakhari, yesterday in a chat with Daily Trust, said the Federal Government must renegotiate with the terrorists because Leah Sharibu’s abductors “know that the attention of the world is on the girl.

“The girl is an expensive captive and her case is complicated considering the fact that she was not released alongside other girls abducted from Dapchi.

“The world will accuse the Federal Government of not doing the right thing if the girl remains in captivity.

“The terrorists know her worth and will use it to their maximum advantage. They know government is involved in the negotiation; she is therefore not an ordinary captive.

“However, one thing is certain: they will not kill her, but they will also not release her easily.

“They have provided a proof of life and most importantly, she is in the hands of ISWAP, not Shekau and therefore, elaborate negotiation will work out. They are not using her as highly priced captive only, but also a human shield. I suggest that government should not back out from the process. They should negotiate more not necessarily by giving more money, but by using other available options.”

Leah’s father, Sharibu Nathan, yesterday told Daily Trust that he was not aware that the insurgents rejected any ransom to release his daughter.

He also noted that he had not heard anything about the girl.

Hmm, FG negotiating with terrorists as if they wan buy something from market women? There's a country that will never negotiate with terrorists, they'll rather infiltrate them and send special force to rescue the girl and outrightly kill their head

Sometimes I ask myself who is boko haram? Who is fulani herds men (who will kill and claim it and go scot free) and who is federal government? Are they not the same set of people?

Imagine, FG arrest boko haram, later release them, give them money in the name of rehabilitation. Herds men kill the whole village, miyeti allah claim they are responsible, FG made no arrest.

God help us in this fake country. Leah, may divine help reach you wherever you are. Some are happy you're there coz it's in line with their agenda, that's why they don't care if you are rescued or not but God's mercy will locate you, Amen.

Our darling BBQ man, what did our darling president and daddy says jare

NB: for those quoting me, did I mention any country? Why are you all saying USA? Na you Sabi o. May God punish all terrorists sympathizers!

Werey govt.

govt now speaks for boko haram

allahu akbaru..

"highly priced" , so it's business, someone life is now a business in this country,, SMH, how did they got to know she was highly priced if outside and inside sources are not exchanging information? And how did the "security expert" knew for sure that they won't kill her? and how did he also knew she is with the other guys and not shakau? Why the indirect, release of state of things to "those it may concern"??

So kidnapping and extremism is now a source of income adding to our GDP abi? That people are now playing God, with another humans Life.

We are all sitting on a timebomb including the terrorist, the govt and the governed, both the elites and the masses, no one is spared .

if we keep shifting blames on PDP/APC, NORTH/SOUTH, CHRISTAIN/MUSLIMS, OLD/YOUNG ,RICH/POOR, believe you me, It won't spare anyone, when it finally explodes, .

Isn't if crazy that while other countries of the world like Australia, Indonesia, Japan, China, America, Philippines are busy battling NATURAL DISASTERS , like earthquake, wildfires, etc
, We with a land blessed with milk and honey are killing ourseleves , with guns, cutlass and bombs.


We must take a very decisive action to uproot the root cause of this menace collectively and diligently if not ....

maybe the money whey FG dey negotiate small

If FG need money let them contact me make I give them.

Oh ...

Chibok girls have long been forgotten..

It Dem Don play the politics with Leah finish, they should let us know

Why

Lies from the pit of hell, everything about this Leah's case has become politicised and thunder will locate all those that have being complicit in this young girls matter.
May God give the sharibu's peace and strength in this trying period...Buratai do your job and stop wailing like a lil biatch.

Who meet who?
How did they collide?
Who was negotiating?




So we know Boko Haram then, so why is it difficult to end their menace?

Service thief's have used Boko, as a milking cow.....


Let's hire Trump + Xi Jinping to rule Nigeria for 2 years...... Only 2 years.. ....

Major General Buhari failed woefully in all aspect of governance.


He promised adequate security

He promised to end Boko Haram in 3 months

He promised to lead the war from the front

He promised change in governance and accountability

He promised fairness and equity


But alas, he failed woefully in all.

Major General Buhari will go down in the history of Nigeria as the worst-ever, super-clueless, inept and daft ruler.

His regime will not be forgotten in a hurry.


For all those who brought the expired cow milk back to power. You will all not know peace until you return to your maker

For the brainwashed thugs who have repented, you are forgiven but will not escape earthly punishment.

Bokoharam dey enjoy her tight Puna

Make I hear another story jooor

Stop spreading false news.

Every country negotiates with terrorist.

The USA just finished negotiations with the Talibans that will pave way for US troops withdrawal.

Every country negotiates with terrorist if need be.

How authentic is this news?
Check my siggy.

With such kind of news and proposal for a country to pay ransom to terrorist, how do you want to discourage kidnapping and Banditry as a lucrative business in a country with so much unemployment?..

With such information, villagers can employ bokoharam to kidnap children just to fleece the Govt knowing very well the Govt would always pay.

Hmm, nothing to say abeg...we all know the truth

1 week, 1 major fib

Leah is now a mother.... All thanks to the FGs hanky panky

Even her father doesn't know about this.....na so dis government don dey do politics with human being life nor be today........
Very unfortunate indeed

I don't care to know the reason the girls were abducted and why she in particular is still in their custody.All i know is that whatever their plan is,everything happens for a reason.This wicked people might think they are causing havoc to nigeria and their evil agenda is coming to a reality,but they don't know they are digging their own graves. if they can't escape the common law of nature that will hunt them in this life,how can they escape the judgment of GOD?. boko haram,fulani herdsmen,kidnappers continue but one day........

We are watching.
Another distraction from the govt

Jamboree is all audio in politics

See BH defiant in their atrocious demands on this little Christain girl with great faith but the silly Buhari-led APC is recycling captured BH terrorists as repented, rehabilitated and deradicalized idiots? God it will never be well with them all.

When some countries policy is never to negotiate with terrorists

But we can't do that after all everything meant for better security and arms procurement are down some people's throat


Whatever happened with this government's fight to end with boko Haram


Has Boko Haram come to stay?


Father Lord, how did we get here

I had no doubt in my mind back then that Leah was used as part of bargaining chip during the first negotiation that led to the release of other girls
