Nigerian President Says He's Ready To Negotiate With Boko Haram Over Release of Chibok Girls



Over the release of the Chibok school girls, kidnapped in April 2015.
President Muhammadu Buhari , who is Washington DC and has met with President Obama, said he is willing to negotiate with leaders of militant Islamist group Boko Haram for the release of more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls.
He was speaking on Tuesday July 21, 2015, while addressing Nigerians in the United States.
During a question and answer session in Washington, Buhari said his administration would only
negotiate if genuine and confirmed leaders of the group came forward and convinced the government of the current condition of the girls, their location and the sect's willingness to talk.

"Our objective is that we want the girls back, alive and returned to their families and rehabilitated. We are working with neighboring countries if they will help," he said.
